Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • measuring cups & spoons
  • Whisk
  • wooden spoon
  • (2) 12-count cupcake pans
  • white cupcake liners
  • oven

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda

Mayonnaise Frosting

  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
