My Chocolate Cupcake Recipe

Everyone I know loves chocolate. Not a single person doesn't. I have tried alot of recipes over the years. Some made these weird domes, some were too dense, too sweet, too bitter, the list goes on. For this reason I decided to come up with my own. This recipe is the one I have used for over 4 years now and has never failed me. It rises evenly and is just the right amount of everything. Top it off with chocolate ganache and it is heavenly! So without further ado, I present to you, my cupcake recipe!
Ingredients you will need:
-1/2 cup butter
-1 1/2 cup sugar (use castor sugar or grind and sift, measure and use)

-2 eggs
-2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2-3/4 cup good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
-3/4 -1 cup milk

Method:
1. In a clean, dry bowl sift the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder.
2. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. One by one, add the eggs, beating in between to incorporate it properly.
4. Now mix in the dry ingredients and milk, alternating between the two until just combined. Do not over mix because it will result in a dry cupcake.
5. Line a cupcake tray with liners and fill with the cupcake batter until 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 15 minutes in an oven at 250°C or until skewer when inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Cool the cupcakes completely at room temperature before frosting. Do not put directly into the fridge to cool as the cupcakes may harden.

Tip: You can add chocolate chips and nuts into the batter as well if you like. I prefer keeping it simple though
