Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 cup Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
9. Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting.
10. Enjoy!
