Chocolate cupcakes.



These are very yummy and easy to make :) Here's what you'll need:
-150g dark chocolate
-100g butter
-2 eggs
-½ cup sugar
-1 cup self raising flour

First thing you want to do is melt the chocolate and the butter together. How you do it is completely up to you, I prefer doing it over a double boiler, but if you rather do it in the microwave, feel free.

While the chocolate is melting whisk the sugar and eggs until light, pale in colour and fluffy.

When the chocolate is melted slowly add it to the egg mixture, while constantly whisking. (If the chocolate is a little too hot, let it cool slightly first, because you don't want scrambled chocolate eggs).

Lastly, sift in the self raising flour and mix well, before scooping out into cupcake forms. (If you want your cupcakes to be even more chocolatey add chocolate chunks or chips into the batter before scooping). Bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven.
Enjoy!

P.S. And here's a little something to watch while you're eating them! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOVDu7etQlc (recommendation from a friend)
