Chocolate Chip Cupcakes From Scratch
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk 2% or whole
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and get your muffin tins ready with cupcake liners.
- Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Crack in the egg and blend it into the creamed mixture.
- Sift the cake flour, salt, and baking powder together and set this dry mix aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and oil.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the milk mixture into the creamed butter, alternating between the two.
- After each addition, beat the batter well to ensure it's thoroughly mixed.
- Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter.
- Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 16-17 minutes, or until a gentle press on the cupcake top springs back.
- Once baked, let the cupcakes cool before topping with your favorite chocolate buttercream frosting.
