Preparation steps
1.
For the cupcakes: preheat the oven to 200°C (180° fan) 400°F gas 6. Place paper cases in a 12 hole muffin tin.
2.
Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar.
3.
Whisk together the eggs and oil in a separate bowl until frothy, then slowly whisk in the milk and vanilla.
4.
Stir into the dry ingredients until just blended.
5.
Spoon a little mixture into the paper cases to cover the base. Place 1/2 a chocolate mint on top and cover with more mixture. Add another chocolate mint half and top with more mixture.
6.
Bake for 20 minutes until risen and springy to the touch. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
