Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
Green food coloring

Instructions

Preheat your 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, whisk eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until frothy. Gradually mix into dry ingredients until just combined.
Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and green food coloring until desired hue is reached.
Once cooled, frost generously and sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top as 'bubbles.'
