  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 c. butter softened
  • 1 1/4 c. sugar
  • 3 eggs

For the frosting:

  • 1 c. butter softened
  • 3-4 c. powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 muffin cups with blue paper liners.

  • In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar. Add in the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Stir in the cocoa powder and mix until well combined.
  • Add in half the flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in all of the milk. Stir in the remaining flour mixture.

  • Divide batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each 2/3 of the way full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
