    Method

    1. Step 1

      Before you start:
      Pre-Heat the oven to 180c/160c Fan/gas 4.
      Pop 6 of the muffin cases into the cupcake tray.

    2. Step 2

      In a large bowl, mix together the softened butter, caster sugar, flour and cocoa blend, eggs and milk  with a spoon. Once combined, spoon the mixture into the paper cases until ¾ full and bake for 25 - 30 mins.

    3. Step 3

      To check your cupcakes are baked throughout, insert the tip of a knife into the sponge. If ready, the knife will be clean when removed.  Cool in the cases on a wire rack.

    4. Step 4

      Make the buttercream by mixing the icing sugar, butter and milk, until smooth

    5. Step 5

      Once cooled, take a cutlery knife and cut a small hole, 1-2cm deep in the middle of each muffin.  Fill each hole with sprinkles, then replace the cake with buttercream, using the back of a spoon to create a swirl.
