Chocolate marble

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter

3 eggs

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 1/2 tsps vanilla

1 1/4 cups milk

1 pkg of semi sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup milk

In a medium bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Meanwhile heat the semi sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup milk stirring constantly until chocolate melt. Set aside for later use. 

In another mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium high speed for 30 seconds. 

Gradually add sugar, beating on medium speed, add eggs one at a time beating after each addition. Beat in alternately with flour and  milk until combined. Spoon batter about 3/4s full on each muffin liner cup. Drizzle about a 1/2 tsp of the melted chocolate on each cup,  using a bread knife or spatula swirl the batter to make it look marbled. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Frost with chocolate frosting by using the left over chocolate mixture, add 2-3 cups of powdered sugar beat until reach spreading consistency. You can pipe or iced using the spatula.  These cupcakes I preferred the smooth icing then decorated with chocolate candy coated pearl and piped a green icing for leaves.
