1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups granulated sugar

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

2 large eggs room temperature

1 cup boiling water or hot coffee

1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup salted butter softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Whisk together all of the dry ingredients in the bowl of a standing mixer: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients: milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil.

Beat together with a hand mixer or whisk. Gradually add in the boiling water while mixing to help break apart the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cakes comes out with just a few crumbs.

Cool cupcakes completely.

Meanwhile, prepare the frosting.

In the bowl of a standing mixer or with a hand mixer, slowly begin to beat together softened butter, vanilla, and cocoa powder.

Rotate between adding the powdered sugar and heavy cream until both are fully incorporated and the frosting is fluffy and smooth.

Pipe the frosting over the cooled cupcakes.
