1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and milk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, whisking until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
