Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Mascarpone cheese
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the mascarpone cheese to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon or scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with your favorite frosting before serving.
