    Method

    • step 1

      Pre heat your oven to 180 degrees. Grease your baking tray and add your cupcake cases inside. Boil your kettle too.
    • step 2

      Measure out ingredients.
    • step 3

      When your kettle has boiled mix your cocoa powder with boiling water and mix into a paste.
    • step 4

      Into this mixture add you butter and sugar and mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well ( I cheat with electric whisk).
    • step 5

      Dispense the mixture evenly into the tray and cook for 17-20 minutes, until you a skewer comes out clean.
    • step 6

      Leave to cool. Could be topped with butter cream icing or even Nutella for those with a super sweet tooth ;)
