Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin pan with baking cups. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into a bowl. Cream butter and sugar in a food processor until smooth.

Step 2

Add an inch (2.5 cm) of water to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and place over saucepan; heat while stirring until chocolate is melted.

Step 3

Add melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture, and stir to combine. Add one egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add one third of the flour and buttermilk, mix just until incorporated, and repeat with second and final portions.

Step 4

Spoon cupcake mixture into baking cups until about 3/4 full. Bake in preheated oven for approx. 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Place cupcakes on wire rack and let cool completely.

Step 5

To make frosting, cream butter with cream cheese, then add icing sugar, vanilla and milk, and beat to combine. Gently spread icing on cup cakes.

Step 6

Place remaining chocolate chips in bowl and microwave on medium-high heat for approx. one minute or until melted. Spoon melted chocolate into pastry bag fitted with fine round tip.

Step 7

Carefully pipe a pea-sized dot of chocolate in the center of the cupcake, then 2 rings around it. With a toothpick, drag the tip through the chocolate from the center dot to the edge. Repeat approx 8 times around the centre.
