Ingredients

• 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 120 g softened butter (1/2 cup butter)
• 3 medium-sized eggs
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 100g semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp extra melted butter
• 3 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 100g chocolate chips

Instructions

Let’s start by melting the semisweet chocolate chips and 2 tbsp of melted butter. You can do this by using a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate and butter are smooth and completely melted. Once melted, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

While the chocolate mixture is cooling, let’s prepare the rest of the batter. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together and set them aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until they are smooth and creamy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition. Finally, beat in the vanilla extract.

Now, it’s time to add the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Beat the batter until all the ingredients are well combined.

Take a portion of the batter and place it in a separate bowl. Add the cocoa powder and the melted chocolate mixture to this portion. Mix everything together until you have a smooth chocolate batter. Don’t forget to add the grated milk chocolate and mix it in as well.

It’s time to create the beautiful marble pattern in our cupcakes. Using a spoon, divide the batter evenly into your prepared cupcake cups. Start by adding 1 tbsp. of the plain batter, followed by 1 tbsp. of the chocolate batter. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.

To create the marbled effect, take a toothpick or a knife, and gently draw swirling patterns through the batter. This will create a stunning marble pattern in your cupcakes.

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and bake the cupcakes for about 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once they are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.

Now, it’s time to enjoy your homemade Chocolate Marble Cupcakes! These delicious treats are perfect for any occasion – birthdays, parties, or just a sweet indulgence for yourself. Serve them with a cup of tea or a glass of milk and savor every bite. Trust us, these cupcakes will be a hit with everyone, young and old. So why wait?
