Chocolate Cupcakes
Serves 10
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 3/4 cups unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 3/4 cups whole milk
Frosting
- 1 batch chocolate-flavoured American buttercream frosting or Swiss meringue buttercream frosting.
Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat a fan-forced oven to 140°C / 275°F or a conventional oven to 160°C / 320°F. Line a cupcake tin with brown cupcake liners.
- Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt to a
large mixing bowl. Mix on low speed with a hand mixer until combined. - Next, add the softened butter and continue mixing on low speed until
the mixture reaches a crumbly, sand-like texture. - Add the eggs and milk and mix again on low speed until all the dry
ingredients are incorporated. Scrape down the side of the bowl and
mix for a final 20 seconds. - Fill each liner just below three-quarters of the way. Using an
ice-cream scoop to transfer the batter to the cupcake liners makes
this a quick and easy process, and ensures each liner contains
exactly the same amount of batter and that the cupcakes will bake
evenly. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in
the centre of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool
completely on a wire rack before frosting. - These cupcakes are perfectly paired with my vanilla or chocolate flavoured buttercream frosting. Fit the end of a piping bag with whichever piping tip you like and frost a swirl on top. Sprinkle with sprinkles!
Notes
Cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
