Time 1h

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup hot water
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs

1 pinch salt
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, sifted
1 lb confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup whipping cream
candy sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Cupcakes: sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the bowl of a heavy mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; add sugar.
  • Turn the mixer on low and add, in order; water, milk, eggs, oil and vanilla; scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on medium, briefly, to achieve a smooth batter.

  • Frosting: Cream the butter in the bowl of a mixer, using the paddle attachment; beat in the corn syrup, vanilla and salt.
  • With the machine off, spoon in the cocoa; carefully turn the mixer on low so as to avoid death by cocoa inhalement; do likewise for the sugar, in three parts; last, add the cream then beat until fluffy.

  • When the cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously and shake on some sprinkles if you like.
