Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat until combined.
Gradually add boiling water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin.
Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
