Ingredients
For the Cupcakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup malted milk powder
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate finely chopped
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1¾ cups whole milk at room temperature
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
- 12 ounces milk chocolate finely chopped
- 1 cup malted milk powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter cut into small pieces, at room temperature
Instructions
- Make the Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two standard muffin pans with paper liners.2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and malted milk powder.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a small bowl and microwave in 30-second increments on 50% power, stirring in between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in the oil until combined. Add the chocolate mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, along with 1 cup of the milk, and whisk until mostly combined (the mixture will be thick).
- In a measuring cup, whisk together the remaining ¾ cup milk, eggs and vanilla. Pour half of this mixture into the bowl and whisk until incorporated, then add the second half and mix again until everything is combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the liners, filling each about ¾-full. Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the pan to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
- Make the Frosting: Place the chopped chocolate in the bowl of a stand mixer; set aside.
- Whisk together the malted milk powder and heavy cream in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate in the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and gently stir the chocolate mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Cover the bowl again with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until thoroughly chilled.
- Using the whisk attachment of your stand mixer, begin beating the chocolate mixture on low speed and gradually add the pieces of butter, one piece at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Once all of the butter has been incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is thick and smooth. If it's too thick to pipe, you can add more heavy cream, a teaspoon at a time, to thin out the consistency.
- Using the decorating tip of your choice (I used an Ateco #808), pipe the frosting onto each cupcake and top with chopped malted milk balls, if desired. Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
