Ingredients

Cocoa Powder - ¾ cup
Wheat Flour - 1½ cups
Sugar - 1½ cups
Baking Powder - ¾ teaspoon
Activated Baking Soda - 1½ teaspoons
Salt - ¾ teaspoon
Water - ¾ cup
Farm fresh eggs - 2 pieces
Buttermilk - ¾ cup
Safflower Oil - 3 tablespoons
Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
White Chocolate - 2.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 356°F. Take a muffin tin and place a paper liner in each cup.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the eggs one at a time, then the warm water, buttermilk, sunflower oil, and vanilla. Beat for about 3 minutes until a soft batter forms.

Step 3

Divide the batter among the liners, filling them two-thirds full, and bake for about 20 minutes until done, checking with a toothpick. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes and transfer to a plate.

Step 4

Spread the glaze on top of the cupcakes (see notes) to create a smooth and even surface, and let it set for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Let it cool slightly and transfer to a parchment pastry bag. Make a small hole. Use the chocolate to draw patterns or write on the glaze.
