Delicious Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Recipe

Start by **preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F)**. This ensures the temperature is just right for baking, giving your cupcakes the perfect rise and texture.

Line a **muffin tray with cupcake liners**. This will help with easy removal later as well as keep your cupcakes looking great.

In a large bowl, **whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder** until they are well combined. Make sure there are no lumps in the flour, as this can affect the texture of your cupcakes.

In another bowl, **mix the sour cream, softened butter, and eggs** until smooth. It's important that the butter is softened to room temperature to incorporate well.

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and **stir gently** until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cupcakes tough.

Fold in the **chocolate chips**. You can use as many or as few as you like depending on your preference for chocolate flavor.

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each cupcake liner about **two-thirds full** with batter. This allows room for them to rise without overflowing.

Place your tray in the preheated oven and **bake for 30-35 minutes**, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Keep an eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.

Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and **let them cool** in the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious chocolate chip cupcakes!
