How to Make Yogurt Vanilla Cupcakes W Chocolate Frosting
- **Make the Frosting (Prepare ahead for faster baking):**
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk until smooth.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk and whisk continuously.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Let the frosting cool completely at room temperature (or refrigerate for later use).
- **Make the Cupcakes:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup plain yogurt to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Frosting:**
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, invert each cupcake over the frosting. Gently press and twist to coat evenly.
