Beat together your butter and sugar, until light and fluffy.

Add in the flour, cocoa powder and eggs and beat until a lovely cake mix is formed!

Step 4

Fold through the chopped galaxy chocolate!

Split evenly between the 12 cases, and bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes. I bake mine for 18 minutes!

Once baked, leave to cool fully.

Step 7

Make sure your unsalted butter (not stork) is at room temp.

Step 8

Beat your butter until smooth.

Step 9

Add in the icing sugar and beat again!

Add in your melted galaxy chocolate and beat till a lovely buttercream is made. If it's a little stiff, add in 1-2tbsp of boiling water. Only do this is essential!

Step 11

Pipe your buttercream onto the cupcakes with your favourite piping tip - I use a 2D closed star piping tip.

Step 12

Add on some galaxy chocolate - I did two chunks of galaxy chocolate and a galaxy counter per cake, and then sprinkled on my favourite sprinkles.

ENJOY!
