Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line 12 muffin tray holes with paper cases.

  • 2. Gently melt the dairy free spread, 1/2 cup milk alternative, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan. Cool slightly, then sift in the cocoa and flour, mixing to combine.

  • 3. Dissolve the baking soda in the remaining milk and stir into the batter, mixing well. It should be a thick, pourable batter.

  • 4. Pour into the paper cases and bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin.

  • 5. Meanwhile, to make the icing, combine the ingredients in a mediumsized bowl. Mix well to form a smooth, thick paste. Pour into a piping bag or snaplock bag with the corner cut off.

  • 6. When the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe icing onto cupcakes and decorate with grated dark chocolate.
