Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup boiling water
• 0.5 cup Nutella
• 0.25 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 5

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this ensures the cupcakes are moist and fudgy.

Step 6

Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 of the way full with the batter.

Step 7

Add a heaping teaspoon of Nutella on top of each cupcake, using a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the batter.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each cupcake for extra richness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Optional: Top with additional Nutella or frosting of your choice before serving. Enjoy!
