Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with baking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then pour in the milk. Mix on low speed until just combined. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Separate about 1 cup of the batter into a small bowl and stir in the cocoa powder to create the chocolate batter.
Fold the mini chocolate chips into the remaining vanilla batter.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of vanilla batter into each cupcake liner, followed by 1 teaspoon of chocolate batter. Repeat until all batter is divided among the liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Using a toothpick, gently swirl the chocolate and vanilla batters together in each liner to create a marble effect.
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
