Prep time: unknown
Cook/bake time: 20 minutes

Serves: 24 cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners; set aside.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Put butter and sugars into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the milk. Stir in chocolate chunks with a rubber spatula.

Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.

Bake until pale golden and a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Transfer cupcakes to wire racks; let cool completely.
