How to Make Yum Yum Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. **Make the Chocolate Filling:** In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually add 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder, mixing until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup (70g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  3. **Make the Cupcake Batter:** In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about 1/3 full with the cake batter. Add 1 teaspoon of the chocolate filling mixture to the center of each cupcake.
  7. Top with another 1/3 of the cake batter.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, frost and decorate as desired (optional).
