Ingredients

Scale

1¼ cups cake flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup sugar
⅔ cup vegetable oil
½ cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon white vinegar
¼ teaspoon blue gel food coloring

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add in the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, vinegar, and blue food coloring; mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just incorporated—do not overmix.
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for 16–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
