Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cupcake liners should be used to line a muffin tin.
Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
Stir together the wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the buttercream icing while the cupcakes are cooling.
Cream room temperature butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Mix in the confectioners' sugar gradually until well combined.
When the icing is light and fluffy, add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
The buttercream icing should be piped or spread onto the cooled cupcakes.
Enjoy.
