I am in love with this delicious cupcake. The taste of chocolate chips and cookie dough buttercream make for a unique and delectable cupcake. I used the recipe from www.thebakerupstairs.com and will be making them again. Hope you give them a try the next time you want to make cupcakes. Enjoy!
Cupcake Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup salted butter, cold, cut into small cubes (if using unsalted butter, add in 1 teaspoon of salt)
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 ounces mini chocolate chips
Cupcake Directions
Preheat your over to 350 degrees. Line two muffin tins with paper liners. In a stand mixer bowl or large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, and baking powder. Next, add in the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the milk and vanilla in a measuring cup and add half of the mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth and then add the other half of the milk mixture and beat until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Do not use the mixer. Fill your paper liners 2/3 full and bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan.
