300 gram dark chocolate, finely chopped

100 gram unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup (220g) firmly packed brown sugar

2 eggs, at room temperature

1 cup (150g) self-raising flour

2 tablespoon cocoa

2 tablespoon thickened cream

2.Combine 80 grams chocolate and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan on low heat. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

3.Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift combined flours and cocoa over butter mixture and stir until combined.

4.Stir in melted chocolate. Fill paper cases and smooth tops. Bake for 20-25 mins, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 mins, then transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

5.Heat remaining chocolate and cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and glossy. Spread ganache over cooled cupcakes. Decorate with chopped maltesers. Serve.
