How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Vanilla Cupcakes Chocolate Frosting
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fill cupcake liners about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1.5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped.
- Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Stir until combined.
- Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Add 2-4 tablespoons milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously. Add sprinkles before the frosting sets, if desired.
