Instructions
Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 180℃ (160℃ for fan ovens) and line a cupcake or muffin tin with 12 black cupcake cases.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the flour, cocoa powder and eggs, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth, thick cake batter. Then stir in the black food colouring.
- Divide the batter between your 12 cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick through the middle comes out clean. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
Frosting:
- Add the butter to a bowl and mix in half of the icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk. Once that's smooth, stir in the rest of the icing sugar and milk.
- Mix the almond extract and food colouring/black cocoa powder into the frosting then transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
- Pipe some frosting onto each cupcake then enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
