½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs
½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk (or substitute with regular milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
½ cup (120ml) hot water

Tools:
Cake liners and muffin tin are required utensils.
Bowls for mixing
Whisky
Hand mixer or electric mixer
Measurement spoons and cups
Rack for cooling

Preparation Time:
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Comprehensive Guidelines:
Warm up the oven: 
Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Use cupcake liners to line a muffin tray.

Dry Ingredients: 
Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing basin.

Wet Ingredients: 
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, followed by the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla essence. Blend until smooth.

Mix: 
Slowly mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones until they are just blended. Take care not to mix too much.

Hot Water: 
Stir the batter until it's smooth after adding the hot water. It's typical for the batter to be thin.

Fill the Liners: 
Fill the cupcake liners two thirds of the way to the top with batter.

Bake: 
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, in a preheated oven.

Cool: 
After taking the cupcakes out of the oven, allow them to cool in the pan for five minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
