Instructions
1. Heat the oven to 190C, 375F, Gas mark 5 and
place 10 paper fairy cake cases evenly on a baking tray.
2.
Place all the cupcake ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat with an
electric beater or a wooden
spoon until well blended. The
mixture should be soft enough to drop easily from
the spoon when tapped.
3.
Place a heaped teaspoon of cupcake mixture in each paper case and bake towards the top of the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the
cupcakes are well-risen and firm
to the touch.
4.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
5. Once cold,
sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl, add the water and mix
until smooth. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but
not too runny.
6. Place a
teaspoon of the chocolate icing on the top of each chocolate cupcake and smooth
with the back of the spoon. Put aside to set for at least 20 minutes before
serving.
