Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the sugars and salt and mix to blend together.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, blend together the egg, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients and the hot coffee to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
  • Divide batter into the prepared cupcake liners and bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting. I used my Whipped Chocolate Ganache Frosting.
