Chocolate Chips Muffins

These are my old time favourite muffins. I will bake these muffins when I craving for butter cake. I found that mixing butter and margarine able to produce softer texture. This recipe is using whipping cream. However you can replace with milk.  

 
Ingredients:

80g butter
70g margarine
90g castor sugar
 
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
 

(B)
200g cake flour
10g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
Pinch of Salt
80g whipping cream/ milk
 
1/2 cup chocolate chips
 

 
Methods :
1. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
 
2. Cream butter and margarine with the sugar till pale and creamy.
 
3. Add one egg at a time, beat till combined before adding in the flour mixture.
 
4. Using a spatula, fold in sifted flours in 3 batches alternatively with the whipping cream. Add in the chocolate chips and mix till well combined.
 
5. Scoop the batter into lined muffin cups. Top with some chips as you like.
 
6. Bake in the preheated oven at 180C for 20 minutes or when a skewer inserted in the center and comes out clean.
