Chocolate chip cupcakes

The classic stracciatella experience in cake form. The base of the batter is a rich buttery sponge, in which tiny nuggets of chocolate do not melt completely during baking but add a crunchy texture to the soft cake. Simple, yet you never tire of it.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix the flour and baking powder.

Tip: Sift the flour for a lighter structure.
2

Beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy, add the eggs, then alternately the milk and flour mixture.

Tip: The secret to a good cupcake is thoroughly creaming the butter and sugar.
3

Toss the chocolate chips in a little flour, then stir into the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Tip: Tossing in flour increases the surface roughness of the chocolate, so it grips the batter lattice and doesn't sink.
4

Make the frosting: whip the double cream, mix with the cream cheese and icing sugar. Decorate the cooled cakes.

Tip: Do not overwhip the cream or the butter will separate!

Recipe FAQ

Can I use milk chocolate?
Yes, but it will be sweeter and may burn sooner. Bake-stable chocolate drops are the best choice.
