  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin pan with baking cups. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into a bowl. Cream butter and sugar in a food processor until smooth.

    Add melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture, and stir to combine. Add one egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add one third of the flour and buttermilk, mix just until incorporated, and repeat with second and final portions.

    Spoon cupcake mixture into baking cups until about 3/4 full. Bake in preheated oven for approx. 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Place cupcakes on wire rack and let cool completely.
