1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 180° and line cupcake trays with cupcake liners.

2. Sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl.

3. Add the egg, water, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract and mix with an electric beater for +- 3 minutes.

4. Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop mixture into prepared cupcake trays.
