Elsie’s Classic Chocolate Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two cupcake pans with 18 liners.

In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, chocolate milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for approximately 2 minutes, until the batter is fully incorporated.

In a small bowl, toss the mini chocolate chips with the cocoa powder (this step is optional but will keep the chocolate chips from all falling to the bottom of the cupcakes).

Add the chocolate chips into the cake batter and stir to combine.

Use a cookie scoop, or spoon, to fill your 18 prepared cupcake liners.

Bake for 12-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean.
