Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Main Structural Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (236.59 ml)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 grams)
- 2 large eggs
Flavor and Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (300 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C) and setting up a muffin tin with protective cupcake liners or a light coating of grease.
- Create a smooth foundation by whisking melted butter and sugar until thoroughly integrated, then introduce eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until the texture becomes aerated and uniform.
- Carefully sift the dry components – flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder – into a separate vessel to eliminate potential lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Delicately incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently to maintain a light consistency and prevent overmixing.
- Distribute the batter evenly across cupcake liners, filling each approximately two-thirds full, and optionally embellish the surface with scattered chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
- Position the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick emerges with minimal crumbs and the surface displays a delicate crisp exterior.
- Allow the cupcakes to rest in the pan for a brief 5-minute interval, then transition them to a wire cooling rack to achieve complete temperature equilibration and optimal serving consistency.
Notes
- Adjust chocolate intensity by selecting high-quality cocoa powder with different cocoa percentages to customize richness and depth of flavor.
- Experiment with alternative flour options like almond or gluten-free blends for dietary adaptations without compromising texture.
- Control moisture levels by slightly reducing baking time for extra fudgy centers or extending time for crispier edges.
- Prevent potential sinking by ensuring dry ingredients are thoroughly sifted and chocolate chips are lightly coated in flour before adding to batter.
