Ingredients
For chocolate cupcakes:
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1-¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For white chocolate buttercream:
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2-¼ cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Crushed candy canes
Instructions
For chocolate cupcakes:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add the granulated sugar and whisk to combine.
- Add the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Mix just until combined.
- Divide the batter between the cupcake tins, filling each one ¾ of the way full.
- Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes to a wire rack and set them aside to cool before frosting.
For white chocolate buttercream:
- Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar. Once all of the powdered sugar has been incorporated, add the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract.
- Turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the buttercream is light and fluffy-- about 2 minutes. If the buttercream is too dry, feel free to add a tablespoon of milk to bring it together.
- Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with your choice of tip.
- Frost the cupcakes as desired and top with crushed candy canes.
- Store the cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
