  • 180 grams Medium-protein all-purpose flour
  • 150 grams Granulated sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 125 grams Unsalted butter, melted
  • 60 ml Full-cream milk
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp Milk (to dissolve the cocoa powder)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Prepare a cupcake pan and line each cavity with a paper liner.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale, fluffy, and thick enough to leave a ribbon trail, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3 Sift the flour, baking powder, vanilla powder, and salt into the egg mixture. Gently stir with a spatula using a folding technique so you don't knock out too much air from the batter.
  4. 4 Pour in the melted butter and milk little by little, stirring gently the whole time, until the batter is smooth, evenly combined, and free of lumps.
  5. 5 Divide the batter into two portions. Set one portion aside as the plain vanilla batter.
  6. 6 Dissolve the cocoa powder in 2 tablespoons of milk, stir until smooth, then mix it into the second portion of batter until evenly colored to make the chocolate batter.
  7. 7 Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into the paper liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. 8 Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the batter into a marble pattern with light circular motions—don't overmix.
  9. 9 Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. 10 Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack before serving or decorating as you like.

💡 Tips

• Make sure the melted butter has cooled slightly before mixing it into the batter so the eggs don't start cooking.

• Don't overmix the batter once the flour is added, so the cupcakes stay soft and don't turn dense.

• For a pretty marble pattern, just swirl the skewer 2-3 times—don't overdo it.

• Store the cupcakes in an airtight container to keep them soft for up to 2-3 days.
