Makes 12 cupcakes
Ingredients:
- 110 g butter
- 110 g brown sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten

Preheat the oven to 190C. Place 12 paper cases in a muffin tin. Beat the butter in a mixing bowl until soft and light. Beat in the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, gradually until well blended. Sift in the flour, baking powder and cocoa and fold in gently until combined. Stir in the milk. Spoon in the paper cases and bake for about 25 mins or until well risen and golden. Cool in the tin for 5 mins before moving them to a wire rack to cool off completely.
Frosting: Cream the butter. Sift the cocoa and icing sugar together and then add it to the creamed butter. Beat the mixture and add coffee or water to make it a soft and creamy consistency. Put into a piping bag and pipe swirls onto the cupcakes. Sprinkle the nuts and chocolate chips onto the icing.
