Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 ½ Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 ½ Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• ⅓ Cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
• ¾ Cup creamy salad dressing (such as mayonnaise)
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 1 Cup warm water
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the sifted all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sifted cocoa powder. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whip together the creamy salad dressing, white sugar, warm water, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
7. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or enjoy them plain for a simple treat.
