Always a winner for a celebration, these easy chocolatey cupcakes are topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. Our top tips on the frosting? Take the time to sieve the icing sugar thoroughly. Once you add the butter, it's tricky to get rid of any lumps of icing sugar. You also need a good full-fat cream cheese (we recommend Philadelphia), as anything less will cause the icing to be runny and impossible to pipe or spread over the cupcakes.
