Ingredients100g unsalted butter (softened)100g caster sugar (I use golden) 2 eggs 75g self-raising flour 25g cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder For the topping: 100g good chocolate - milk or dark, up to you 2tbsp milk 50g unsalted butter 90g icing sugar Sprinkles | |
Method1. Preheat oven to 180c/160c fan oven. Line a deep muffin tray with muffin cases.2. Cream butter and sugar with electric mixers until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat until creamy. Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder and fold/gently stir into egg mixture. 3. Dollop a spoonful into each cake case - don't worry if it looks like a small amount in each one, you'll need room on top for the icing anyway. 4. Bake for about 18-20 minutes until firm/springy to touch. 5. ICING: Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of boiling water, adding milk and stirring gently. When melted, leave to cool a bit, then sift in the icing sugar and beat well. 6. Cover the cakes as soon as they are cool, swirling the mixture on with the back of a spoon, and sprinkle with decorations if required (we use sugar stars on ours). Handy HintWill keep in a tin for a few days, but mine never make it that far! Makes 10-12. Choc chips can be added to the cake mixture if you are feeling extra gluttonous :) |
