CHOCOLATE FUDGE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cases. Gently melt the butter, chocolate, sugar and 100ml hot water together in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally, then set aside to cool a little while you weigh the other ingredients.
• Stir the eggs and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl, then stir in the chocolate mixture until smooth. Spoon into cases until just over three-quarters full (you may have a little mixture leftover), then set aside for 5 mins before putting on a low shelf in the oven and baking for 20-22 mins. Leave to cool.
• For the icing, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Once melted, turn off the heat, stir in the double cream and sift in the icing sugar. When spreadable, top each cake with some and decorate with your favourite sprinkles and sweets.

FUDGE CUPCAKE FROSTING

Steps:

• If you use a double boiler for this frosting, it's fool-proof. You can also make it in a very heavy saucepan over low to medium heat on the stovetop, but you'll have to stir it constantly with a spatula to keep it from scorching.
• Fill the bottom part of the double boiler with water. Make sure it doesn't touch the underside of the top.
• Put the chocolate chips in the top of the double boiler, set it over the bottom, and place the double boiler on the stovetop at medium heat. Stir occasionally until the chocolate chips are melted.
• Stir in the can of sweetened condensed milk and cook approximately two minutes, stirring constantly, until the frosting is shiny and of spreading consistency.
• Spread on cupcakes, making sure to fill in the "frosting pocket.".

FUDGE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350 degrees F., rack in the middle position.
• Line a 12-cup muffin pan with double cupcake papers. Since this recipe makes 18 cupcakes, you can use an additional 6-cup muffin pan lined with double papers.
• Microwave the chocolate, raspberry syrup and 1/4 cup sugar in microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave again for another minute. At this point, the chocolate will be almost melted, but it will maintain it's shape. Stir the mixture until smooth and let cool to lukewarm. (You can also do this in a double boiler on the stove.).
• Measure flour, mix in baking powder and salt, and set aside. In an electric mixer (or with a VERY strong arm), beat the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. (About 3 minutes with a mixer - an additional 2 minutes if you're doing it by hand.) Add eggs, one at a time, beating each addition to make sure they're throughly incorporated. Add approximately a third of the flour mix and a third of the milk. (You don't have to be exact - adding the flour and milk in increments makes the batter smoother.) When that's all mixed in, add another third of the flour and another third of the milk. When that's incorporated, add the remainder of the flour and the remainder of the milk. Mix throughly.
• Test your chocolate mixture to make sure it's cool enough to add. (You don't want to cook the eggs!) If it's fairly warm to the touch but not so hot you have to pull your hand away, you can add it at this point. Sitr throughly and you're done.
• Let the batter rest for five minutes. Then stir it again by hand and fill each cupcake paper three-quarters full.
• Bake the cupcakes in a 350 degree F. oven for 20-25 minutes.
• To frost the top of the cupcakes please check out the Fudge Frosting recipe I have posted.

WELLESLEY FUDGE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Make the cupcakes:
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate with the water, stirring, until the mixture is smooth and remove the bowl from the heat. In a bowl whisk the butter with the brown sugar until the mixture is blended well and whisk in the yolk and the chocolate mixture. Onto a sheet of wax paper sift together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt and add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture in batches alternately with the milk, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla, divide the batter among 6 paper-lined 1/2-cup muffin tins, and bake the cupcakes in the middle of the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Transfer the cupcakes to a rack and let them cool.
• Make the frosting while the cupcakes are baking:

Stir in the confectioners' sugar, 2 teaspoons of the milk, and the vanilla and blend the frosting well (the frosting will thicken as it stands). When the cupcakes are cool, thin the frosting to the desired consistency with the additional milk, stirring in the milk drop by drop.

• Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes. (The 8-inch cake pan should bake an additional 5 minutes.).
• Frosting:.
• You can use a double boiler, or a saucepan on the stovetop, stirring CONSTANTLY.
