Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Mixing
  1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Baking
  1. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
  2. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Cooling

Notes

For extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder. You can also add chocolate chips to the batter for an even more chocolatey experience.
