Description

Classic chocolate cupcakes are another must-have recipe. A guaranteed winner at children's parties!

Method

Step 1 of 5

Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas 4). Sift the flour, baking powder, and cocoa into a bowl. Add the sugar, salt, and butter. Mix until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and yoghurt together until well blended.

Step 2 of 5

Slowly pour in the egg mixture to combine. Gently whisk until smooth. Place the cupcake cases into the trays. Carefully spoon the cake mixture into the cases, filling each one only half full.

Step 3 of 5

Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly coloured and springy to the touch. Leave for a few minutes, then transfer the cupcakes in their cases to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4 of 5

For the icing, beat together the butter, icing sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 5 of 5

Ice by hand, using the back of a spoon dipped in warm water to smooth the surface, or transfer the icing to the piping bag and pipe onto the cakes.
