Let’s Make it together

Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners to make cleanup easier later.

Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined and no lumps remain.

Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth and slightly frothy. This will add airiness to your batter.

Combine mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently until just combined don’t over-mix or you’ll lose that fluffy texture

Fill cupcake liners: Spoon batter into each liner about halfway full. Don’t forget to leave room for your chocolate bunnies they need their cozy little space too

Add surprises: Press one chocolate bunny into the center of each cupcake batter gently until it’s just covered by batter. They will melt beautifully during baking

Bake and cool: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (or with some melted chocolate ). Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Frosting time: Once cooled completely, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or whipped cream sprinkle some colorful sprinkles on top for that festive touch

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preheating your oven while you mix the batter. This ensures even baking and perfect cupcakes. Once the batter is ready, fill your cupcake liners halfway, place the chocolate bunnies inside, and cover them with more batter before baking.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap in different flavors like vanilla or lemon zest for added zing. You can also use different types of chocolate bunnies or even mini eggs for a surprise twist. Topping with colorful sprinkles can make them extra festive.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds just enough to warm the chocolate inside without drying them out.
