Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

I made these for a friend's party, with raspberry whipped cream frosting.

They are delicious, very chocolately without being overwhelming.

ingredients

1/2C butter, softened

1 1/4C sugar

2 eggs

3/4C all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2C cocoa powder

1/2C milk (I used organic 1%)

1 tsp vanilla

2/3C mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about 4 minutes in a large bowl (I used my KitchenAid Stand Mixer).
3. Add eggs one at a time, mix until combined.
4. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined. (use slow speed at first to avoid chocolate cloud).
5. Add vanilla and milk.
6. Add flour, a little bit at a time.
7. Add chocolate chips, mix until well combined.
8. Fill cupcake liners until 1/2 full.
9. Bake for ~23 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
10. Enjoy!
