Servings 7 cupcakes
Calories 264kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medium eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C - 375F.
- Whisk butter and sugar.
- Whisk in the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
- Sift flour, salt, cocoa, and baking powder. Add to the previous mixture. Stir to combine. Do not over mix.
- Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake until a skewer inserted comes out with few crumbs. I made 7 cupcakes, I've used medium size cupcake liners, if using the regular size, you might make around 12. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes.

Notes
- Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and bitter. The moment a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cupcake comes out with few wet crumbs, remove the brownies from the oven.
- Do not overbeat the brownie batter, or it will turn tough after baking.
- You can make mini cupcakes with the same batter and serve at parties; kids will love it! Baking time will be shorter.
- Do not overbeat the eggs, or the brownie will turn cakey in texture instead of fudgy.
