I held off for a whole day to make another cupcake.  I was so excited!  I made two cupcakes today, this was the first.  The recipe makes 12 cupcakes.

Ingredients:
1oz semisweet chocolate chips

2/3 cup sugar
1 cup heaping self-rising flour
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa

Lemon Buttercream
7 Tbsp butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice

How to make them:
1.  Preheat oven to 350F and line one 12-hole muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
2.  Melt chocolate over simmering water in heat proof bowl.
3.  Beat together butter, sugar, flour, eggs and cocoa in a large bowl until it is just smooth.
4.  Beat in melted chocolate.  Spoon the batter into paper liners.
5.  Bake for 15 minutes, or until springy to the touch.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6.  To make frosting beat butter until creamy then gradually beat in powdered sugar to combine.
7.  Beat in lemon juice.
8.  When cupcakes are completely cooled, cut off top and then cut it in half.
