How to Make Rich Chocolate Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 20-count muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate morsels, butter, and salt.
- Microwave on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Transfer the melted chocolate to a large bowl.
- Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost with the milk chocolate frosting.
