Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners. Whisk 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon each baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Heat 1 1/2 cups milk in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling; whisk into 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder in a large bowl until smooth. Let cool slightly. Whisk in 2 cups sugar, 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil, 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla until smooth. Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake until the tops spring back, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
