I made these cupcakes for my friend’s birthday. Very simple, classic recipe, but made with the best ingredients I could find. They were a hit at the party.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. Measure out everything but the eggs directly into your mixer bowl.
2. Mix on low speed just until incorporated.
3. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
4. Add eggs, beat on high speed again for 2 minutes.
Measure out into cupcake pan lined with cupcake papers. A 2″ ice cream scoop works great for this. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly in the pan then transfer to a rack to cool completely before frosting.
