Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two cupcake pans with parchment cups.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the dry mix. Blend on low speed until it resembles wet sand.
Stir in neutral oil, whole milk, and vanilla extract; mix until just combined.
In another bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until medium peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula until fully combined.
Portion the batter into the cupcake pans using a cookie scoop, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then let cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to let the cupcakes cool completely before adding ganache for best results.
Use high-quality semisweet chocolate for a richer chocolate flavor in the ganache.
These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
