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