Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Chocolate chip desserts are one of the most popular types of dessert worldwide.

Since then, chocolate chip desserts have existed in countless variations, and the cupcake format is a perfect way to have a rich chocolate flavor in every bite. This recipe is a perfect choice for family events, holidays, or a simple afternoon treat. If you want to make it even more exciting, try combining it with white chocolate chips or nuts!

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
3
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Fill the muffin liners about three-quarters full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until light and creamy.
9
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting. Decorate with the cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips.
