These Mini Chocolate Cupcakes are delicious and fragrant. These cupcakes filled with a piece of chocolate in the centre is very simple to make. The chocolate melted once it’s baked and you can feel and taste the wonderful bite of the small cake. No electric cake mixer is required but simply stir the mixture with a hand whisk all the way through. Fill the batter in a piping bag and store it inside the freezer for about 20 minutes to thicken. Then pipe half of the batter into the mini cupcake liners and top with chocolate pieces and cover up with remaining batter. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts or chocolate chips on top and bring to bake for about 15 minutes and you’re done. Definitely a great treat for Christmas season!
