- Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas 3. Sift the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl.
- Then add the butter, milk, treacle, and the eggs.
- Beat it for several minutes until it is smooth, and then divide the mixture equally between 8 muffin sized cases.
- Cook until a skewer inserted near the centre comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
- Now we make the icing. Put the plain chocolate, milk, teaspoon of hot water (with coffee to your taste), butter and icing sugar into a microwavable bowl, and melt it in the microwave.
- Let the cakes cool and then put the icing onto the top (I normally make patterns on the top with a fork) and then put the white chocolate buttons onto the top.
