Ingredients
For the cake:
- 4 tbsp Water
- 40g Cocoa Powder
- 3 Eggs
- 175g Butter (unsalted)
- 165g Caster Sugar
- 115g White Self-Raising Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
For the butter cream:
- 50g Dark Chocolate (Minimum 70% Cocoa Solids)
- 100g Butter (unsalted), softened
- 200g Icing Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Milk, to loosen
Directions
- Line a muffin tin with paper cases. Sift the cocoa powder into a bowl, pour in the boiling water and mix into a thick paste. Add the remaining cake ingredients and mix with an electric hand whisk (or beat with a wooden spoon).
- Divide the mixture equally between the 14 paper cases. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F, Gas mark 6) for about 12-15 minutes until well risen and springy to the touch. Cool in the cases on a wire rack.
- To make the chocolate icing melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. (Do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the surface of the water.) Allow to cool.
- Beat the butter in a bowl until soft, then gradually beat in the icing sugar. Add the vanilla extract, then fold in the melted chocolate until completely incorporated (add a few drops of milk if the mixture is a little stiff).
- Pipe over the cupcakes, sprinkle with chocolate decorations and leave to set before serving.
