Yield:

2 dozen cupcakes

Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 cups white sugar

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup buttermilk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 cup hot water

⅔ cup shortening

½ cup white sugar

⅓ cup milk

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins.

Step 2

Sift flour, 2 cups white sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the flour mixture using an electric hand mixer on medium until smooth, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir baking soda and hot water together in a small bowl; mix into batter. Pour batter into muffin cups to 2/3 full.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

Beat shortening, 1/2 cup white sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl using an electric hand mixer until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until fully incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 6

Insert frosting into cupcakes using a pastry tube fitted with a rosette tip. Frost the tops of cupcakes with remaining frosting.
