Milk Chocolate Cupcake were made for my son. He loves milk chocolate, and once clothed in school, he said: Mom, I ate delicious muffins. Will you bake it for me? And after all, I got down to work. After a few experiments, as my son said, the perfect, even better, that he ate then came out. So from now on, it is a frequent guest on our table.
How to choose the best ingredients for Milk Chocolate Cupcake
Egg: I always use size L for the egg, but a cupcake will also work if you have size M. For size S, add 2 eggs.
Butter: Butter is only suitable for this without any additives. The most ordinary unsalted butter.
Cacao powder: cocoa powder is best when you add dark ones. Then it will emphasize the chocolate color of the cupcake. The milk chocolate you add will not give it such a chocolate color because there is not enough of it.
Flour: Flour the way you use it for everyday use. It doesn’t have to be special for cakes.
Milk chocolate: You add milk chocolate, whatever you like. It gives the cupcake flavor, among other things. Unfortunately, the special ones for baking chocolates are of lower quality. I don’t use them.

- When the chocolate dissolves the mass, put everything in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. After taking it out, you will be able to finish whipping.
