  1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC
    Place 12 large muffin cases in a cupcake tray.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, cocoa, baking powder, soft brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to break up any lumps of sugar.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, melted salted butter, sunflower oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Fill Cupcake Cases
    Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cases.
  6. Bake
    Place the cupcake tray on the middle shelf of the preheated oven. Bake for 17 to 18 minutes, or until a skewer or cocktail stick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with a few cake crumbs stuck on it, indicating they are done.
  7. Cool and Enjoy
    Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tray for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy them as they are or with your favorite toppings or frostings.
