Pour the milk and vanilla and mix. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder. Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture. Mix together. Then, beat in the egg whites.

Chocolate Cupcakes

This is a recipe for chocolate cupcakes. It is my grandma's recipe for yogurt cake, and my cousin added the chocolate.  I think she made it up, so they're not exact measurements. But they are really good!

INGREDIENTS

3 eggs
1 plain yogurt
Flour
sugar
baking soda
powdered chocolate (like the kind used for hot cocoa)
vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to about 375 degrees Fahrenheit  Pour the yogurt into a bowl. Now, pour in 2 yogurt cups of flour. Pour in 1 yogurt cup of sugar. Pour in 1 yogurt cup of vegetable oil. Pour in 2 1/2 yogurt cups of chocolate. Put in the eggs. Pour in 16 grams of baking powder. Beat it all together until its smooth. Put in the molds.  Then, put the oven temp to about 330 (sorry the measurements are kind of random- they are conversions from Celsius)  and bake for five minutes. Then, take the temperature, and lower it to about 320 degrees F and bake for twenty minutes or until you stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean. ENJOY! :)
