Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup malted milk powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
      • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

      2. Prepare 2 muffin tins with liners. Set aside.
      3. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt; whisk together to mix.
      4. In a small bowl, combine milk and malted milk powder, stirring to dissolve. Add milk mixture, vegetable oil, and eggs to flour mixture; beat until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla; beat just until mixture is combined.
      5. Pour batter into the prepared pans, bake 18-22 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

      I would have given this a 5 star but didn't because of the amount of baking soda. I used ½ tsp and don't find the need for more as it made it salty tasting. The second time I made them with less soda they were perfect!
