These mini vanilla based cupcakes are loaded with chocolate chips in every bite of the cake. Soo yummy! Vanilla and chocolate are always going perfect together, right? And you may add the chocolate chips as much as you want too!

These cupcakes are favourite. Simply because anytime of the year is just a perfect time for chocolate. It's also really easy and quick to make. I was enjoying myself baking them, frosting and topping them with various kinds of toppings!. Also had soo much fun when styling and photoshoot-ing them too! :p

And if you have some lovely friends at school or work whom you've always wanted to bake since a long time ago, you can simply make these beautiful mini cupcakes and give it to them as a gift! They will definitely love it and crave for more (because one mini cupcake won't be enough, trust me!).

So... go try this guys! Here's the recipe to follow!

Making 30-35 mini cupcakes.

For the cupcakes:

Ingredients:

195 grams all purpose flour

200 grams granulated white sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

113 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

120 ml sour cream or plain yoghurt, room temperature
100 grams chocolate chips

Directions:

1). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and lightly butter or line 30-35 small baking cups with paper liners.

2). In a bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until combined. 

3). Add the butter, eggs, vanilla extract and sour cream (or yoghurt). Beat the wet and dry ingredients together, at medium speed, until the batter is smooth and satiny, about 30-60 seconds. Scrap down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4). With a rubber spatula, carefully stir in the chocolate chips, mix well (remember not to over-mix!).

5). Evenly fill the baking cups with the batter and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

For the buttercream frosting and assembling:

Ingredients:

1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

4 cups (460 grams) confectioners or icing sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

4 tablespoons milk

chocolate chips, sugar hearts, Rolo, Oreo, M&M's, almonds, matcha powder, Maltesers, sprinkles, etc. (for topping)

Directions:

1). In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth and well blended. Beat in the vanilla extract.
2). With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the sugar. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the milk and beat to combine.
3). Then, on high speed, beat frosting until it is light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
4). Spoon into a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes.
5). At last (after all cupcakes have been perfectly frosted), top them with chocolate chips, Rolo, Oreo, almonds, matcha powder, sugar hearts, sprinkles, Maltesers, M&M's, etc. Decorate in any way you love and make them look beautiful!.
6). Done and serve!.

Enjoy!
