Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Muffin tin
  • Toothpick or cake tester

Ingredients

  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 15 g baking powder
  • 3 g salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 120 ml milk
  • 120 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 c.c vanilla extract
  • 200 g fresh strawberries cut into halves
  • 220 g dark or milk chocolate chopped
  • q.s. sprinkles optional for decoration

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, and whisk until there are no lumps.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined.
  • Gradually fold in the remaining flour until the batter is smooth and spoonable.
  • Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack completely before decorating.
  • Melt the chopped chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals or use a double boiler until smooth.
  • Dip the top of each cupcake into the melted chocolate, place a strawberry half on top, and optionally sprinkle with colorful sprinkles. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Notes

For extra moisture, brush the cooled cupcakes with simple syrup before adding the chocolate coating.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate in warm climates.
Freezing undecorated cupcakes is an option; thaw and decorate before serving.
Feel free to use high-quality chocolate for the coating to enhance the flavor, and experiment with different toppings or fillings.
