Ingredients:
- Dry Ingredients:
- 300 g of all-purpose flour
- 100 g of fine sugar
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 16 g of vanilla sugar
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 250 ml of milk
- 125 ml of oil
- Additional:
- Chocolate chunks or chocolate chips for filling and topping
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients: flour, fine sugar, baking powder, and vanilla sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, milk, and oil.
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated to avoid overmixing.
- Pour one tablespoon of the batter into each cupcake liner. Place a chocolate chunk in the center, then cover with enough batter to fill the liners about three-quarters full. Sprinkle additional chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
