Method
Chocolate Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 180°C
- Place cupcakes papers in a cupcake pan
- Combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter with a mixer on low speed until it resembles wet sand
- Whisk together egg, milk and vanilla and slowly pour into the dry ingredients while the mixer is running
- Turn the mixer up to high-speed mix for a couple of minutes. Scrape down the bowl about halfway through.
- Spoon the mixture into cupcake cases and bake for about 20 to 25 mins or until they spring back if you lightly touch them in the centre.
- Allow to cool completely before frosting.
To Make The Frosting
- Place butter, cocoa and icing sugar in a bowl and beat on low speed until combined. A stand mixer is super handy here.
- Combine vanilla and milk in a small bowl and slowly add to the frosting mixture.
- Once combined turn the speed high and beat the frosting for about 6 minutes.
- Place frosting in a piping bag with a large nozzle and gently squeeze the frosting out of the bag in a dome shape.
- Place a piece of chocolate in each cupcake.
