Ingredients
Cupcakes
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5.3 ounce container plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk
Chocolate Chip Frosting
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, add dry ingredients; flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder and mix; set aside.
  3. In a stand-alone mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together oil and sugar for 1 minute. Add vanilla extract, eggs, one at a time, Greek yogurt, and cooled chocolate continue to mix for an additional minute.
  4. With the mixer on low-speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk three separate times scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Finally add chocolate chips and gently mix.
  5. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full with batter and bake for 19 minutes, turning the cupcake pan once half through the baking process.
  6. While cupcakes are baking, make the frosting.
  7. In a sauce pan, combine flour and milk and place over medium heat. Whisk until the mixture starts to spit and thicken (this will happen in just a few minutes). Take off heat and whisk in vanilla extract. Set mixture aside to cool completely (you can place it in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process).
  8. In a stand-alone mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3 minutes. The mixture should be light in color. Once the milk/flour paste has cooled, add it to the mixer and whisk for one minute, scraping down sides of bowl half way through the mixing. The frosting will be light and fluffy. Finally add mini chocolate chips and gently mix.
  9. Allow cupcake to completely cool before frosting. Garnish with mini chocolate chips if you would like.
