Chocolate Easter egg cupcakes

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a 1/2-cup capacity 12-hole muffin pan with paper cases. Sift flour, cocoa and baking soda into a large bowl. Add sugar. Stir to combine. Whisk together spread, buttermilk and eggs in a large jug. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Gently combine using a metal spoon.

2 Place one spoonful of batter into paper cases. Place a caramel egg into the centre of each cupcake. Cover with more batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cupcake bounces back when gently pressed. Transfer onto a wire rack. Cool.

3 To make icing, sift icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl. Add spread and 3 teaspoons hot water. Stir until smooth. Add more hot water if icing is too thick. Spread icing onto cooled cupcakes. Serve.
