- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

- Top with additional strawberries if desired.
Notes
