Method

pre-heat oven to 160 degrees C

line a 12-hole cup cake tin with paper cases

 

1. Cream together the butter and sugar until the colour is light, and the texture is fluffy.

2. Beat in the eggs one at a time - if the mixture begins to separate, add a spoon of flour from your measured amount.

3. Sift together the flour, coffee powder and cocoa then fold into the cake mixture using either a metal spoon or spatula.

 

Divide equally between the cupcake cases. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes until risen and firm to touch, remove and cool on a wire rack.

 

4. When completely cold decorate with glacé icing (water icing) and top with a Malteser.
