Today's Recipe-Easy Chocolate Cupcakes

  Ingredients

• 10 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk

             Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two muffin pans with paper baking cups.
2. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, almond extract and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter, alternating with the milk, just until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
3. Bake until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost and enjoy.
