Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 small chocolate bunnies
Buttercream frosting (for decorating)
Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, beat eggs then mix in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until blended.
Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined (lumps are okay).
Fill cupcake liners halfway with batter, placing one chocolate bunny in each before topping off with more batter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Once cool, frost generously with buttercream and add sprinkles if desired.
