Preparation steps

2.
Whisk together the butter, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder and eggs until smooth and blended. Add milk if necessary, to give a soft dropping consistency.
3.
Spoon into the paper cases and bake for about 15 minutes until well risen and firm to the touch. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

For the chocolate ganache: heat the cream to a boil in a pan. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then stir until the chocolate has melted. Add the butter and stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Chill until firm, but not hard.
5.
Put the mixture into a piping bag and pipe swirls on top of the cakes. Decorate with flowers.
