One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcake

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups water
• ¾ cup vegetable or olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Direction

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. If you’re making a cake, grease the pan.
3. Stir the sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a large bowl.
4. Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix it up with a spoon until nice and smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the muffin pans until they are two-thirds full. Bake for 25 minutes (longer for a cake), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
