Here's a simple recipe for making chocolate chip cupcakes:
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense cupcakes.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting, if desired. Enjoy your homemade chocolate chip cupcakes!
