One bowl. Well, two actually… including the icing.
But seriously; you are two bowls away from having chocolate cupcakes.
You should make these because it’s Friday; Friday is a perfect reason for cupcakes.
Share them with someone. Or don’t…
I didn’t share today. I was grumpy. And hungry. Whatevs.
Wait, sharing with you counts… right?
It does. yes yes. I made these for you.
For us. I like you guys like that.
Really. I do.
I do, really.
Guess what else I did? Again, totally for US.
…I skipped the gym.
I skipped yoga, too.
Then ate 3 of these chocolate buttercream beauties; just to make sure they were good enough to share with you.
Then I ate one more; just to be extra positive they were delightful and perfectly indulgent.
FYI- dancing around your kitchen while baking does burn calories; if you worry about those type of things.
Who needs a firm tush anyways?
I ignore things like this; denial is a lovely little island I live on. I have no future plans of moving; I quite like it here.
Come sail away with me.
Here at Denial Island we serve cupcakes whenever you please.

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer. Stir in the boiling water. Just to warn you, the batter will be thin. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.

These look amazing girl; maybe you should bring me some now mate? Sounds like a good Idea to me 🙂
I wanna stick my finger into that frosting! It looks so luscious 🙂
I totally kept dipping my finger in the extra icing!
Since you made these for us and all, I would like one for breakfast please. I am loving your blog but I would love it even better if I was eating one of these cupcakes while reading it!
I ate one for breakfast; totally a good way to start the day!
I kind of want to lick the frosting off the screen. Yum!
I wouldn’t judge you if you did!
I could eat a bucket of that frosting!!!

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I love cupcakes and even more when assembled in one bowl. Great post!
One bowl= one dirty dish… not bad right?
Ahh this looks so good! Less mess means me being happy, which means me eating more cupcakes. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I like sharing with you!
A wonderful flavor combo. Those cupcakes are surely extremely addictive and really divine!

Hey Rosa! They surely are addictive!
This could be a dangerous recipe to know about. One bowl sounds wonderful and I LOVE buttercream!
The buttercream is like angels singing, seriously.
I love one bowl baked goods- less to wash and more time to eat delicious cupcakes 🙂
Sometimes a little treat is exactly what you need! These look gorgeous 🙂
love treats; they make the days easier to sail through,
sometimes you just gotta have splurge days—and feel great about them! these look amazing and the frosting looks so fluffy!
You’ve got it; feeling good about treating yourself is key.
Less cleaning up of the dishes means more time eating up of the cupcakes! They look perfect 🙂
I love the idea of two bowls and you have these beautiful treats. They look light and fluffy…great paired with the vanilla cream. Awesome pictures as well.
Have a great week ahead 🙂

Dessert in one bowl = happy bakers everywhere! 🙂
