Children’s chocolate cup cakes recipe 
Ingredients
115g butter at room temperature
115g caster sugar
2 eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten
115g plain flour, ½ tsp cream of tartar, ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda and 30g of cocoa powder, all sifted together.
Icing ingredients
55g of unsalted butter
3tbsp single cream
200g icing sugar
30g of cocoa powder
Pre-heat oven to 190C, 375F, gas 5
Cream together the butter and the sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, a little at a time and beating well between each addition.
Sift again as you add the dry ingredients and fold into the egg and butter mixture.
Fill a muffin or bun tin with paper cases and divide the mixture between them. This much mixture should make around 10-12 cupcakes.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, and then check they are cooked by pushing a skewer into the middle of the cup cake; if it comes out clean then the cake is cooked. Take out and cool on a wire rack.
To make the icing, melt the butter and cream together in a saucepan. Sift in the icing sugar and cocoa powder and beat until smooth and well mixed. Spread onto the tops of the cupcakes and have fun decorating - perhaps with Smarties.
