- Combine all the remaining dry ingredients and fold in until its completely smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate mixture with a spatula or metal spoon.
- Transfer into cupcake cases.
- Pop into the oven for 25 minutes until the cakes have risen and are firm to touch.
- While your cake is in the oven, whip up your icing by combining all the ingredients in a clean bowl, and beating with an electric whisk until it’s well mixed.
- Pipe on top with a piping bag and a 5mm nozzle. Finish with a little grating of any extra chocolate you have left over!
Top Tips
- Wait until your cake has cooled down fully before you start icing it… otherwise it will melt off!
