    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, 350°F, gas mark 4). Sit 12 paper cases into a muffin tin.

    2. Step 2

      Beat together the eggs, butter, golden caster sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and flour with an electric beater until smooth and fluffy.

    3. Step 3

      Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Spoon the mixture into the cases about 2/3 full.

    4. Step 4

      Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or so, until risen and firm to the touch.

    5. Step 5

      To make the rocky road topping, beat the butter until soft and smooth. Sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl and add to the butter until the mixture all combined and is light and fluffy.

    6. Step 6

      Spoon or pipe the icing over the top and then scatter over the rocky road topping slightly pressing the toppings into the icing.
