Banana and chocolate chip cupcakes


MAKES 12

For the cakes

  • 100g (4oz) butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 175g (6oz) caster sugar
  • 225g (8oz) self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 50g (2oz) chocolate chips

For the icing

  • 50g (2oz) dark chocolate
  • (39 per cent cocoa solids), melted

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.

♥ Measure the butter, eggs, caster sugar, flour, baking powder, milk and bananas into a bowl and beat together until combined and smooth. Mix in the chocolate chips.

♥ Spoon into the paper cases and bake for about 25 minutes until well risen, golden brown and shrinking away from the cases. Remove the cases from the tin and set aside to cool.

♥ Drizzle over the melted chocolate in a zigzag pattern using a small piping bag or teaspoon.

PREPARE AHEAD The cakes can be made up to a day ahead.

FREEZE They freeze well cooked for up to 3 months.
