Directions

45 min.

1. Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

2. Step

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Step

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

4. Step

Distribute the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

5. Step

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and add the milk and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.

6. Step

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost with the prepared icing.
