Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard-sized 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, vanilla extract, sugar and yogurt until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually pour in the water and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated and there are no lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
