Glazed chocolate cakes

Makes

8

Ingredients

• 100g butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon boiling water
• 1 egg, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 3/4 cup self-raising flour
• 100g good-quality milk chocolate, chopped

• Chocolate glace icing

• 200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/3 cup thickened cream

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease eight 1/3-cup capacity muffin holes.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar, cocoa powder and boiling water until well combined. Add egg and sour cream. Mix well.
3. Sift flour over butter mixture. Add milk chocolate and gently stir to combine. Three-quarter fill muffin holes with mixture. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Carefully turn out onto a wire rack.
4. Make chocolate glace icing: Combine chocolate and cream in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH (100%) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, or until smooth and runny.
5. Working quickly, spoon glace icing over warm cakes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
