Ingredients
Preparation
Combine all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until smooth with an electric mixer.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with 12 liners and lightly spray liners with oil (to prevent sticking).
In a large bowl sift together all the dry ingredients; sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
In a medium bowl combine the wet ingredients (egg through canola oil) and beat until smooth.
With a mixer, slowly add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour into cupcake liners and bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before frosting.
