How to Make Cocoa Pink Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with 20-24 paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, dissolve ½ teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons of water.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the baking soda mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in ½ cup pink chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts.
  8. Fill each muffin liner about halfway full.
  9. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup pink chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts over the batter.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
