Optional: frosting of choiceextra chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Use an ice cream scoop to fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your chosen frosting and garnish with extra chocolate chips if desired.
Notes
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to mix them.
• Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cupcakes tender.
• Fill the cupcake liners only two-thirds full to allow space for rising.
• Use an ice cream scoop for even distribution of the batter into the liners.
• Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
