The original recipe called for two tablespoons baking powder which seemed like an awful lot and I was afraid that the recipe should have read teaspoons instead of tablespoons. Using two tablespoons was the right amount. Don't be afraid.
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs separated
6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix I used my Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix
1/2 cup boiling water
2/3 cup milk
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and mix well. Pour hot water over chocolate mix and stir until dissolved. Pour into butter mixture along with milk.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into butter mixture. Add vanilla and stir.
Whip egg whites and fold into batter.
Spoon batter into greased muffin tins filling each cup at least 3/4 full. I filled them full until the batter came just to the top of the cup.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly and remove from tins.
