Preparation steps

1.
For the cupcakes: heat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) 350°F gas 4. Place paper cases in 2 x 12 mini muffin tins.
2.
Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs until well blended.

Sift in the flour and fold in gently with the vanilla until just combined.
4.
Mix together the walnuts and brown sugar.

Spoon into the paper cases and sprinkle with the walnut mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and springy to the touch. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.

For the topping: melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
7.
Beat the butter and icing sugar until fluffy and pale, then beat in the milk and melted chocolate until smooth. Cool slightly, then chill until firm enough to pipe.
