Homemade treats for tea. This simple, light, and fluffy chocolate dessert can be ready in just 30 minutes. Kids absolutely love these mini-cakes! I made them for my son's birthday at school.

Step 1
Mix flour, cocoa, sugar, eggs, sugar, baking soda, and vanilla with a whisk. When the dry mixture becomes uniform, gradually add milk and softened butter. The mixture will be thick and sticky. While stirring vigorously, add hot water until the consistency becomes liquid. Fill cupcake molds halfway with the batter. Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 12–15 minutes.
