Extra magic ingredient: Salted Dark Chocolate Espresso Syrup by Skinny Mixes (available here)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and the Skinny Mixes syryp until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that's what makes these cupcakes so moist and delectable.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
