Ingredients
100g self-raising flour
25g cocoa powder
1 level tsp baking powder
225g unsalted butter, softened
125g caster sugar
2 large free-range eggs
3 tbsp milk
100g Asda Temptingly Dark Chocolate, broken up
200g icing sugar
140g chocolate buttons
8 glacé cherries, halved
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Put 16 paper cake cases in bun tins. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder together.
2
Beat 125g butter in a bowl until softened. Beat in the caster sugar, flour mixture, eggs and 1 tbsp milk. Divide among the cake cases and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Leave to cool.
3
Melt the dark chocolate squares in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Leave to cool until cold but still liquid.
4
Beat the rest of the butter with the sugar, chocolate and 2 tbsp of the milk until smooth and creamy. Spread thickly on top of the cakes.
5
Arrange the chocolate buttons on top. Put a cherry half on each cake for a nose.
