Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits, reserving a small amount for topping.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the reserved toffee bits and chocolate chips on top of each cupcake batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or top with chocolate ganache for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the smoothest, most consistent batter.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the cupcakes light and tender.
- Toffee Bit Trick: Toss the toffee and chocolate chips in a little flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
- Accurate Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is precisely at 350°F for even baking.
- Cool Completely: Let the cupcakes cool entirely before adding any frosting or powdered sugar to prevent melting.
- Storage Tip: These cupcakes stay moist for 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Extra Indulgence: Consider adding a chocolate ganache or caramel drizzle for an even more luxurious dessert experience.
