  • Add the sifted flour mixture in one go. Then the cooled cocoa powder mixture.
  • Spoon the cake mix into the cupcake cases and bake for 18 minutes or until a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Place on wire racks to cool completely.
  • Cream the butter, gradually adding the sugar until smooth and creamy. Mix in the vanilla and milk. Pipe onto the cupcakes using a piping bag. Leave to set for about 20 minutes.
  • Melt the milk chocolate in a deep bowl and carefully dip the top of each cupcake into it.
