Mega chocolatey Cadbury cupcakes with luscious and nostalgic Cadbury icing!

Ingredients

For the cupcakes:
• 170g (1 ⅓ cups) self-raising flour
• 30g (¼ cup) cocoa powder (I use Bournville cocoa to carry on the Cadbury theme!)
• 220g (14 ½ tbsp) soft butter/margarine
• 180g (scant 1 cup) caster sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the buttercream:
• 220g (14 ½ tbsp) softened unsalted butter
• 350g (1 ¾ cups) icing sugar
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 180g (7oz) melted Cadbury chocolate

Instructions

For the cupcakes:
1. Preheat your oven – 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F / gas mark 4 – and line a 12-hole cupcake or muffin tin with some paper or foil cases.
2. Sift your flour into a large bowl and add in all the other ingredients.
3. Beat well until smooth and combined.
4. Spoon the mixture evenly between the 12 cases and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until risen and springy to touch.
5. Allow the cakes to cool in their tins for about 5 minutes before removing them and allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack.

For the buttercream:
1. Break your chocolate into small pieces and melt it in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl over simmering water on the hob. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the icing.
2. Place your butter and half the icing sugar into a large bowl and beat together until combined.
3. Sift in the remaining icing sugar and cocoa powder into the bowl and beat again until incorporated.
4. Pour in the cooled melted chocolate and mix.
5. Beat the icing vigorously until fluffy and noticeably lighter in colour.
6. Once nicely whipped, either spread or pipe your icing onto your cooled cupcakes.
7. Top and decorate the cupcakes with extra chocolate or whatever you like.
8. Enjoy!

Notes

MAKE IT GLUTEN FREE: Simply replace the self-raising flour with a self-raising gluten free flour blend or a plain gluten free flour blend and 1 tsp baking powder
