- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C /Gas 4 and prepare a 12-hole bun/muffin tin with paper baking cases.
- Whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the flour and the melted butter, gently folding the mixture together.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the paper cases.
- Bake the buns for 10-15 minutes, until golden on top and a skewer inserted carefully into one of the buns comes out clean. Allow to cool for ten minutes on a wire rack before removing from tin.
- To make the icing, whip together the icing sugar, butter and cocoa powder.
- Once the buns are cool, ice them liberally and smooth with a knife.
- Decorate with chocolate buttons. A pretty way of doing this is to stick them on at a 90 degree angle in layers all the way around so that each cake resembles a chrysanthemum flower.
