This recipe comes from the Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Cake recipe I posted previously. I’m re-posting here to remind myself that it makes wonderful cupcakes. You can use the included frosting recipe or my favorite chocolate buttercream found here.

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp vanilla

1 cup milk

1/2 cup oil

Makes about 30 cupcakes.
