Ingredients:
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 8 ounces chocolate, chopped (for coating)
– Sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
3. In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix!
5. Fold in the all-purpose flour gently until the batter is smooth and thick.
6. Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full with the batter.
7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
9. While the cupcakes cool, melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth, stirring often to avoid burning.
10. Once the cupcakes are cool, dip the tops into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
11. Decorate with sliced strawberries and sprinkles if desired.
12. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
