Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 0.75 cup sugar, 0.5 cup cocoa powder, and 2 teaspoons baking powder until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the 1 cup milk and 0.5 cup vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula just until moistened—batter will be lumpy, do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  5. 5

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
