Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 60 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 grams Chocolate bits (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate bits gently using a silicone spatula until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
