Ingredients
- 150 g plain flour
- 30 g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 120 ml oil
- 120 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g chocolate chips
For the Frosting:
- 200 g unsalted butter Softened
- 300 g icing sugar
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until well combined and slightly pale.
- Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well incorporated.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe or spread the frosting onto the cupcakes.
- You can garnish with extra chocolate chips, sprinkles, or any desired toppings.
