Sift in the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa and stir well to mix. Spoon the mixture into the cupcake paper cases. Bake for about 15 – 20 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool them Meanwhilcompletely.

For the chocolate topping, bring water to a simmer in your pan. Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering – not boiling water. Remove from the heat and cool the melted chocolate to room temperature.

Meanwhile beat the butter with an electric whisk until smooth and creamy. Add the icing sugar and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and melted chocolate and beat on low speed until incorporated and fluffy. Increase the speed and beat until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
