Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a standard muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with cupcake liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips.
  8. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
  9. Optionally, place a few additional chocolate chips in the center of each filled cupcake liner.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  13. Serve warm for the best experience, microwaving for 10-15 seconds if needed.
  14. Add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side, and fresh raspberries on top (optional).
  15. Dig in and savor the rich chocolate and tart raspberry flavors!

Notes

  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips.
  • These cupcakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
