Method
- For the cupcakes, heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place 12 paper cases in a bun tin.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water. Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, soured cream, eggs, vanilla and water until smooth. Whisk in the melted chocolate.
- Spoon into the paper cases and bake for 20 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove from the tins and cool on a wire rack.
- For the icing, beat the butter until very soft. Sift in the icing sugar and beat until smooth. Divide the buttercream into 3 and put 2 portions into 2 small bowls.
- Stir the vanilla extract into 1/3 of the mixture, the melted chocolate into 1/3 and the lemon juice and yellow coloring into the remaining 1/3. Spread the buttercream over the top of each cake and decorate with candy hearts.
