Dear everyone! I can't believe that this video has had so many hits! Thank you all so much for watching. What is even more shocking is that it is only now, over 2 years after I uploaded it, that I have been made aware of a problem with the measurements! I get so many comments and it's pretty difficult to keep up with them all but someone recently questioned the amount of oil in the recipe and sure enough, for some reason I have said you should put in 425ml rather than 225ml! Please accept my apologies and go forth now and make these cupcakes as hey are meant to be!!! xxx

In the video, you say to use 350 grams of flour, however in the recipe you shared in the description it says 350 ml. I'm guessing that grams is correct?

hi, if i want use yoghurt instead of buttermilk. do i use the same amount? is the taste same?

you wrote 350 ml plain flour instead of 350 g :)

This is a foolproof recipe - the cupcakes turn out light, moist but super chocolatey! Fabulous!

[@evelinjoemaa6633]

Absolutely delicious and I love how fluffy they were! Usually when I try to make cupcakes they end up staying exactly the height they were before going into oven. but those actually looked like cupcakes when I took them out. Didn't have any chocolate chips so I didn't put those in, but the cupcakes were still delicious! Can't wait to try your other recipes!

[@margarethattingh1923]

Hi Jemma, I was researching recipes as I was baking for my grandson's 1st birthday. I came across your KZbin site and couldn't believe how easy your recipes are to follow and what incredibly useful information you give. Any ways, I baked your chocolate cupcakes and boy was I impressed with how beautiful, and evenly risen they were when they came out of the oven. They were beautifully moist, tasted absolutely yummy and were a great hit. Thanks for an awesome foolproof recipe. I'm one very excited Granny.

Gemma, I just found you a few weeks ago and thank you for the wonderful videos. I made this recipe with the 300ml of flour and it is the same as 300g. I changed my scale from ml to g and it was the same. Being a US girl I don't know metric so I'm thankful for the scales. Love the buttercream recipes too. These are delicious and I'll keep watching.

I tried these today and they came out very soft and moist. My mum and I couldn't stop eating. I had taken half the ingredients cuz I wanted a 12 size batter instead of 24 and replaced oil with 125 gms of butter. Turned out very spongy and yummy. Thanks Jemma for a wonderful recipe.

I made this today, and here's what I thought. 1. The batter is thin and runny, but it baked just fine. 2. I substituted regular buttermilk with vegan buttermilk, which turned out fine. No obscure plant taste. 3. I would dilute the coffee as it made the cupcakes a bit bitter. I'm going to try adding chocolate liquor next time. 4. The cupcakes were good but a bit eggy in texture, but still tasty. 5. I'm going to cut down on the oil as it was greasy after cooking. Overall, I think it's an easy recipe that you can make it dairy free and it tastes great. Thanks Jemma! BTW, US bakers, the temp for your oven is 320F for 24 min. In case you're wondering.

[@sandninja1795]

DIY Buttermilk: Stir 1 tbsp vinegar (or other acid such as lemon juice) into 1 cup of milk, stir and wait 5 mins. Then you have buttermilk for this recipe. Last valentines day I wanted to make these cupcakes but no shops in my town sold it, sadly I didn't know this then but now i do and now you do too! ^.^ Hope this helps you guys~!

[@sandninja1795]

Perhaps it dosent really matter, just the presence of some acid does the trick. Thanks for the heads up that it works just as well with less ^^

[@lestwinsfanatic]

Kimiko Aki I wish I had read this comment before. I've just finished baking and couldn't find buttermilk, so just used milk. It came out alright, but I'll have to bake it again using this as buttermilk. Thanks for the tip.

[@jprochnau33]

Balsamic vinegar compliments dark chocolate wonderfully

[@alishbadoshi5252]

Does it come out as normal?

[@Liz-lk2rb]

Ahh jeysus lads.. Buttermilk at home is basically boiled whole organic milk leave in cold place under cover for 2-3days... Done. Its milk that turned sour. Sorry for the ugly truth. Don't use the milk in a carton. The more natural the milk the better. If the milk was processed milion times u will end up with bitter milk and diorrhea :) sorry again.

[@olfasilini]

Thank you Jemma for this amazing recipe 😊 I've made it and the muffins came out ravishing ! so moist and super chocolaty 😍 I just can't stop eating them 😋 by the way the amount of vegetable oil is 225ml like written in the description box

This seriously is an awesome recipe. I switched out my butter milk for 1/2 cup heavy cream and a 1/2 cup whole milk. ( didn’t have buttermilk on hand nor vinegar to make a substitute) and I melted my chocolate since I didn’t have a food processor to grind them to a powder! So delicious! Seriously thee best chocolate cake I have ever made!! Thanks a million!

[@simratc4908]

Guys just not if you want to try this out! She said 425ml of oil when she actually meant 225ml! ❤️❤️ Dont want anybody’s cupcakes being ruined due to this! She said it in the description box as well! 😆🤞

For some reason, it really stood out... I haven't baked in almost a year or two but I thought that much oil would be too much oil haha

[@jademiracles4001]

Oh really!! I was putting 425ml in and found them very oily. I have reduced it between 375ml - 390ml and to be honest they are perfect! 😍😍😋😋

[@debbiewaugh3869]

I have made these several times without reading the recipe correction and put in 425ml oil. They still come out brilliantly so even if you get it wrong it works. Can’t say it helps the waistline too much though. 🤣🤣😋

Hello everyone I tried this recipe and it tasted really good 😄 I changed the sugar amt to 200g because I was afraid that it would be too sweet. I also used chopped choco bars instead of chocolate chips! RMB TO USE 225 ml of vegetable oil instead of the ome she mentioned in the video!

[@nohemizuniga3296]

And about sweetness, how was it with 200 grams? Id like to make the recipe but i think 370 grms of sugar is too much, too :P

[@m.mehdbhatti2338]

Hi Jemma I made this recipe It came out delicious! I recommend using dutch processed cocoa powder. These cupcakes were moist, fluffy and airy. I would also recommend adding just a tad bit extra cocoa for a richer flavor. I used homemade buttermilk and it worked perfectly. I also just used 1 tbsp instant coffee and dissolved it with a tbsp of hot water. Then i just topped it off with cold water and used the amount required. I also used ur chocolate buttercream recipe. That too was scrumptious! I wud say that it was too sweet. I recommend decreasing the sugar with 100gm and adding in extra melted dark chocolate for a better flavor. Hope this helps! Thanks Jemma!

Just minor in the recipe it says 350ml of plain four - it should say 350g (Jenna says so in the video). I just made it, and the cupcake are as fantastic as all say! The 24 minute baking time is spot-on - my oven is fairly true. Unless I happen to have buttermilk in the house (which I will have if I am doing a lot of baking over the weekend), the milk and vinegar works perfectly for all my recipes. Trick is to put the vinegar in and let it sit for a few minutes, then lightly stir and let it sit again. I also find it works better if put the milk-vinegar mix in a warmer location like under a counter light. Lastly, I did half the recipe and got 13 generous cupcakes. I used two eggs and then did scant on the buttermilk, coffee, and oil to keep all from getting too moist. My concern on it tasting to coffee-ish was for naught. The coffee flavor mellows to a deep chocolate flavor (ooops -- just gave myself away as an American).

[@nige13]

lemon juice is much better than vinegar in buttermilk! 🙂

[@mariamsohail]

So another couple weeks went by and then I finally got the buttermilk... and realized caster sugar was different from granulated... so waited and waited and finally googled what the difference was and “how to make your own” needless to say I’ve had quite the adventure just trying to be able to make these cupcakes 😂

Thanks, Chloe! I decided to (try to) write the method! :) Method: If you’re a very fast baker then preheat your oven to 160°C (or 320°F). In a bowl sift all of your dry ingredients and whisk them together thoroughly. Set aside. In another, larger bowl add your cooled coffee (or as I am using, cooled unsweetened hot chocolate) , oil, buttermilk and room temp. eggs and whisk all of this until completely smooth. Add your dry ings. to your wet and mix until completely combined. Now fill your prepared cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full with batter and bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes. Makes 24 cupcakes.

I think the amount of oil in this recipe was changed, not on purpose, I know that.

Jemma, could you lay this oil controversy to rest? Is the 425ml oil correct or did you misspeak ( according to other comments, it should be 210ml as in your book). I use only organic ingredients so it's not cost-effective to be experimenting too much with the oil quantity. Thanks!

[@CupcakeJemma]

+N Abraham Thank you so much for pointing this out. You are absolutely right! I have now put the written recipe in the description box xx

[@nabraham4482]

+CupcakeJemma Thank you! I will re-try this recipe again! By the way, your chocolate chip cookie recipe turned out amazing. I appreciate it so much that I found a recipe that I love and will make forever. Cheers!

[@junaina830]

+CupcakeJemma why u did not add vanilla extract??

[@cjmaquilan15]

If the ingredients that ate in grams be measured in cups or tablespoons how many cups of tablespoons would it be?

[@scarletrose2465]

N Abraham she accidentally said 425 ml but it was supposed to be 225ml

[@jyostna.k]

Thanks much dear Jemma, I tweaked your recipe to suit my daughter's requirements and it comes out real good

[@sumayyapatel1678]

Can you use this for the normal cake tins?....

[@rewalodhiya8074]

Yeah I tried it worked

[@clairedallimore6461]

Would this work as a cake recipe too? Would I need to adjust anything? Or would it not be dense enough as a cake/layer cake? Has anyone tried? Thanks! :)

[@rewalodhiya8074]

I tried it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jacquelineramcharan4934]

rewa lodhiya how many layers and what size pan did you use?

[@rewalodhiya8074]

@@jacquelineramcharan4934 I don't remember sorry! But I think this recipe will work in a 9 " not very sure

[@jackierice-haga9492]

I have to say this is a very easy recipe to follow once I converted all the amount to cups. They came out moist and chocolatey. Loved them!

[@auraorozco9386]

Hi Jemma!!, I'm from Mexico, and I'm having some trouble getting buttermilk, is there anything else I can use instead of buttermilk??

[@CupcakeJemma]

I always forget to buy buttermilk and there IS a solution! Measure the same amount of regular whole milk then add lemon juice! Usually I just add the juice of half or a whole lemon. Stir it around and then let it sit for half an hour or so. It curdles the milk and works a treat!

[@auraorozco9386]

CupcakeJemma Yei!!!! You answer to my question!!! thank you!!! :D

[@veritorossi]

CupcakeJemma How many eggs should I put in the recipe if I'm trying to bake 12 cupcakes? 1 or 2? Thanks!

[@annakucerova3118]

Veronica Rossi I've just made them from one egg and I got exactly12 cupcakes ;)

[@veritorossi]

+Anna kanihova I made them too with one egg but I find the cupcakes that are made with oil not tasty at all and oily. I'll stick with my recipe that has butter.

[@The4manxies]

I wish I'd read the comments before making these cupcakes as it appears the amount of oil is wrong. My cupcakes were too oily and now I've got 24 cupcakes that don't taste very nice (not a cheap recipe either!). i'd prefer to be able to make 12 cupcakes but difficult to halve this recipe as it uses 3 eggs! Shame as I'd like to give it another go using 210 ml oil instead. Gemma if there's an error in the recipe could you add a narrative /note on the video for future viewers?

[@anabelleharrington6328]

Debbie Cubbon if you weigh three eggs and then beat them to blend,then you can take out half. That's how cupcakejemma does it.

[@preetz9084]

Most of her recipe is excellent and turn out perfectly. Even I'm from Malaysia and some ingredients difficult to find here but by following cupcake jeema it's makes my baking easy for my family to taste on occasionally. Thank you so much...

[@moniquevillarruel2470]

my batter came out really really watery and my cupcakes did not come out. the flavor was so good though

[@markoneill3719]

Its 225ml of oil not 425

[@mckim5092]

Monique Villarruel same here I just made it and it is too runny and now I have to throw all these cupcakes it is really bad

[@raamisakhan7055]

Same but the flavour was horrid

[@mace381]

I tried a lot of chocolate cupcake recipes but I can't find the one I like the taste. so stress tsk tsk :( I always watch your videos but since I don't have weighing scale I never try it but now I will try your recipe because I searched for the conversion of grams to cup :) hahahaa 350g plain flour (2 1/4 cups) 370g caster sugar (1 2/3 cup) 60g cocoa powder ( 1/2 cup) 150g chocolate chips (2/3 cup) Is this correct? Thanks for your video. God bless :)

[@Panzy80]

Did you tried in cups this recipe plz reply me as I’m gonna try in cups I don’t have scale thank you

[@aragorndedolor4171]

No it's not correct. 1 cup of flour loosely packed weight somewhere around 120 grams. 1 cup of flour tightly packed will be around 150 grams.... 2 1/4 cup x 120 gr = 270 grams. 2 1/4 cup x 150 gr = 337,5 grams. Both measured cups haven't enough flour...!!!!!! Measuring in cups will give you a inconsistent result. You will have similar massive errors with cacao. Just buy a metric scale, they are inexpensive and will improve your consistency.

[@Poornimakareti]

I made these cupcakes yesterday. They are really really yummy. Must try recipe. Thank you so much Jemma.

[@zoyashoaib361]

Hi, this recipe sounds amazing but i just have one question. Is it necessary to use Buttermilk?

[@jingischannel]

Yes for the soft moist texture.

[@emilyyp]

I don't know why but I keep listening to "in a big bowl" over and over again.>_

[@lovefood1014]

[@christinewait5108]

wow, I been doing it like 3 times now with 425 ml of vegetable oil. 😂😂😂I don't seem to have a problem. the cupcake is soo moist even after taken out from the fridge. still very yummy!!! I also tried it with 2 orange zest and for the buttercream, I used 3tbsp of orange juice instead of milk and add orange gel color on it. So I have orange chocolate cupcake. thanks cupcake Jemma! I been baking lots of your yummy recipes 😍❤❤❤

[@ChimpScape]

Haha you know it :)

[@serenityprincess6546]

What can we replace the buttermilk with??

[@saidatulafrina5641]

you can replace it with a cup of buttermilk and a tablespoon of vinegar :)

[@mehnazahmed2064]

hey itsafrina you mean one cup of MILK and a tablespoon of vinegar

[@therelatablekitchen5368]

Ok so... God knows I’ve tried hundreds of baking recipes in my life. Don’t look elsewhere. This is THE recipe for chocolate cupcakes. I was honestly so impressed with the final result. So soft and comforting... And I didn’t have buttermilk so I mixed milk with one tablespoon of lemon juice! I’m keeping this recipe on my night stand. It’s that good😂

[@2003sandip]

can we make a single cake with the same recipe instead of all these cupcakes

[@haleycorrea]

of course

[@jayjaythelisma8680]

Ya cupcake is a little version of cake

[@rainbowrose675]

reply please. can i use melted butter instead of oil? quick! ty

[@salmajarrar5644]

Im not jemma but nope :( sorry you can't ..

[@anggeline2045]

Rainbow Rose of course you can. But butter will make your cupcake stiffer than oil version after u put in fridge

[@dadadavina5092]

I tried the recipe because it was so easy......and it was the best chocolate cupcakes...!! I didn't have the buttermilk, so I replaced it with 1 cup of milk and 1 3/4tsp cream of tartar... Thanks a lot Jemma❤️👍👍

[@sindhusermathi8732]

Can we just pour the entire batter and make a cake ?

[@abdel-rahmanel-mongy6181]

i am doing it right now :)

[@cakecakecakesbakery9431]

did this work at all?! and what size tin worked with this amount of mixture?

[@paolaheart3881]

Abd El-Rahman el-mongy did it work?

[@abdel-rahmanel-mongy6181]

yes :D

[@cakes_contour]

This might be a really stupid question, Can i make this in to a layered cake rather than cupcakes?? Really need a nice chocolate sponge recipe for my cakes x

[@Iflip22]

I'm pretty sure you can. I would test it out though before you make it for people. Just in case.

[@cakes_contour]

Kennedy Stephens You can, I made it for a party on Halloween!!! ThankYou though xo

[@ssuperduperweird]

Hello! How many layers did you get with this recipe? How thick and big were your layers?

[@cakes_contour]

Izzati Kasmuri Hello, do you have an instagram? i can tag you in the cake i did if you do to show you. But i doubled the recipe and got 4 10" pans, weighed at 700G each :)

[@ssuperduperweird]

Cakes&Contour it's @superduperweird! but wow that sounds really good!

[@nazlishirazi9459]

hands down the best chocolate cupcake I've ever tasted. Thank you so very much Jemma.
