How to make Bailey’s Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and set aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Add milk, Bailey’s, oil, eggs, and vanilla to flour mixture and mix together on medium speed until well combined. Reduce speed and carefully add boiling water.

Beat on high speed for about 1 minute. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into cupcake liners and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
