Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup milk whole

Hot Fudge Sauce

  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until combined.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until smooth batter forms.
  • Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners and bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While cupcakes bake, prepare the hot fudge sauce: Combine heavy cream, chocolate chips, butter, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir continuously until chocolate has melted and sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Let cupcakes cool slightly before drizzling warm hot fudge sauce over the top and serving.

Notes

For extra indulgence, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the cupcakes before drizzling with hot fudge sauce.
