Homemade Cupcakes

For the birthday party we had cupcakes instead of a full cake.  This was great because there was not as many left overs, you didn't have to cut the cake, everyone got the same size, no forks or plates needed for this.

Here's the recipe.


Homemade Chocolate Cupcake Mix

2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup sour milk
1 cup boiling water

Beat butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and add dry mixture and sour milk, little by little, every other. To sour the milk, add a little vinegar. Add boiling water last. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
