How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these cupcakes!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  9. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them generously with the cream cheese frosting.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your cupcakes turn out perfectly:

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing results.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!

  • If you want to make these cupcakes ahead of time, you can freeze them without frosting. Just thaw and frost when you’re ready to serve.
