- Can I use milk chocolate?
- Yes, but it will be sweeter and burn faster. Bake-stable chocolate chips are the best choice.
Classic Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
The classic stracciatella experience in cake form. The batter base is a rich butter sponge, where tiny chocolate chunks don't melt completely during baking but add a crunchy texture to the soft cake. Simple, but timeless.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Mix the flour and baking powder.
Tip: Sift the flour for a lighter structure.
2
✓
Cream the butter with the sugar, add eggs, then alternate 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 mix into the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Tip: Tossing in flour increases surface roughness so the chips grip the batter lattice and don't sink.
4
✓
Make the frosting: whip the heavy cream, mix with cream cheese and powdered sugar. Decorate the cooled cupcakes.
Tip: Don't overwhip the heavy cream or it will turn into butter!
