1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup melted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners
Sift flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder into a bowl
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and melted butter until emulsified
Gently fold wet ingredients into dry mixture until just combined
Divide batter evenly into prepared liners, filling 2/3 full
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean

Use cake flour (1 1/4 cups) for lighter crumb
