Ingredients:
- 1 cup of vegetable oil (or unsweetened applesauce for a healthier alternative!)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt

- Halloween themed icing and toppings!
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 F and prepare your cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended.
- Add yogurt, flour, cacao powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and stir until smooth!
- Add buttermilk and blend until the mixture is an even color and runny consistency.
- Fill each cupcake liner about half-way to allow for the cake to rise!
- Bake at 350 F for about 15 minutes or until you can poke it with a toothpick, and it comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool for about 45 minutes (no one wants melted frosting!)
- Have fun decorating!
