Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup whole milk room temperature
Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup whole milk room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and milk, and beat until fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes with the milk chocolate frosting.
