Preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F. In a small bowl, whisk together the chocolate chips, cocoa and water until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, soda and powder. In your mixing bowl, cream together the sugars and mayo until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one. Stir in the vanilla.

Add the flour mixture alternately with the chocolate mixture, blending well after each addition (flour, chocolate, flour, chocolate, flour, chocolate, flour.) Pour into cupcake-paper-lined muffin tins, about 2/3 to 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your cupcakes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
