In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the softened butter and milk until you get a smooth, creamy mixture.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix on low speed with a hand mixer just until the batter is smooth and no dry spots remain.
Divide the batter between muffin cups and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes, until risen and springy to the touch.

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better rise.
Do not overmix once the wet and dry ingredients are combined to avoid dense muffins.
Preheat the oven fully before baking so the muffins rise properly.
Fill the muffin cups only two-thirds to three-quarters full to prevent overflow.
Let the muffins cool on a wire rack to keep the bottoms from getting soggy.
These muffins taste great plain, but you can dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
