Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Blueberry Chocolate Cupcakes
Now that we've got our ingredients ready, it's time to get our hands into some fun baking action! Follow these steps for the perfect blueberry chocolate cupcakes:
1. Cream the Butter and Sugar
• Start by mixing the butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
• Once the mixture is smooth, add one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• After both eggs are incorporated, add the vanilla extract and mix it in thoroughly.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients and Wet Ingredients
• Next, sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into the butter mixture. This ensures that your cupcakes will have a light and airy texture.
• After mixing the dry ingredients in, add the milk and yogurt to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
• Now, it's time to add the unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir it in well, making sure the chocolate is evenly distributed in the batter.
3. Prepare the Cupcake Cups and Fill Them
• Line your muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
• Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the chocolate batter.
• Place a blueberry or two in the center of the batter, and then cover the blueberries with more chocolate batter, ensuring the berries are well hidden inside the cupcakes.
4. Bake at 180°C (350°F)
• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once it's ready, place the cupcakes in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
• You can check if they're done by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, they're ready!
5. Let Them Cool and Serve!
• Once the cupcakes are done, let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled, you're ready to enjoy these delectable blueberry chocolate cupcakes with a hot cup of tea or as a sweet snack for the whole family!
