How to make Chocolate Cup Cakes
METHOD:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), Gas mark 4. Fill a bun tray with 12 paper bun cases or small muffin cases.
2. Melt the chocolate in a bowl sitting over simmering water. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until pale and light, and then stir in the chocolate. Beat in the eggs gradually, then sift in the flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and the cocoa powder. Stir gently to mix. Divide the mixture between the paper cases and bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes or until almost firm in the centre. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Meanwhile, make the chocolate icing. Melt the butter and cream together in a bowl sitting over simmering water. Sift in the icing sugar and cocoa powder and mix. It should be of spreading consistency; if it's too wet, add another 25g (1oz) icing sugar. Spread generously onto the cooled cupcakes.
