  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Mix the dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate by heating the milk. Once the chocolate is melted, remove from heat immediately, mix, and let cool. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter in a mixer, add the sugar. Add the egg yolks, one by one (continuing to mix), ensuring that the ingredients are well combined.
  • Gradually add the chocolate mixture and vanilla. Once the ingredients are well combined, add the flour in parts. Mix until the flour is completely incorporated.
  • Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until peaks form and gently fold into the batter you already have.
  • In a cupcake tray, place the liners and add the batter you made until 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
