Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line cupcake tins with paper liners. (This recipe yields about 20 cupcakes.)
  2. In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer with a large bowl), cream together the butter and sugar. Beat for 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat again. 1/3 cup salted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg
  3. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. 2 cups cake flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla and oil. 3/4 cup 2% milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  5. Add the flour mixture alternately with milk mixture. Mix thoroughly after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips. Use an ice cream scoop to fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full. 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  7. Bake for 16-17 minutes or until the top of the cupcake bounces back when you touch it. Allow the cupcakes to cool on a wire rack.
  8. Top with our favorite Chocolate Buttercream or your favorite chocolate frosting.

Notes

  • The calories shown are based on the recipe making 20 cupcakes, with 1 serving being 1 frosted cupcake. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. **
  • Room temperature ingredients take a little bit of planning ahead. Or if you're like me and are terrible at planning ahead, you can soften the butter in the microwave, place the egg in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes, and put the milk in the microwave for just a few seconds to take the chill off.
  • If you want just a small amount of frosting on top, you'll use less frosting.
  • Wilton tip 1M or 2D both make pretty swirls on top of cupcakes.
  • Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
