Spring, Where Are You?? (Chocolate Cupcakes)

So,  it has been quite a while since I have posted anything..  and for that I apologize..  work, the house, kids, granddaughter, dogs and cat keep my busy..  plus I have been battling illness this winter..  it hasn't been fun..
So tomorrow my baby girl,  Rebekah Lynn Clayton will be 22..  Mama is feeling old..  where did the time go..  I blinked and she is now a grown woman..  I just can't believe it..  
We had a birthday party for her on Saturday.. it was awesome,  and I made Chocolate Cupcakes for dessert,  along with other things..  This recipe is definitely a keeper and so easy..  you just need a big bowl, a whisk, rubber scraper, measuring cups and spoons, pans and the ingredients...

1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c buttermilk
3/4 c vegetable oil
1 1/2 c warm water
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

In a large bowl mix together the first 6 ingredients.  make a well in the middle and add the buttermilk, water, oil, eggs and vanilla and mix well..  Whisk until smooth..  place cupcake liners in muffin tins and fill about 2/3 full.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes..  cool and frost with your favorite frosting.
