Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
2 cups sugar
400g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
2 eggs
100g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, and dry cocoa powder. Set aside.
4. Mix Sugar and Chocolate Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar to the slightly cooled chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.
5. Add Eggs:
Add the eggs to the chocolate-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet chocolate mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
7. Fill Cupcake Liners:
Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
8. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
9. Cool:
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your rich chocolate cupcakes as they are, or frost with your favorite icing once completely cool.

Tips:

- Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you begin. This helps in achieving a smoother batter.

- Melt the dark chocolate slowly using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave to prevent burning.

- Sift your dry ingredients together to avoid lumps and ensure an even consistency in your batter.

- Fill your cupcake liners about 2/3 full to allow room for rising without overflowing.

- Avoid overmixing your batter once you combine wet and dry ingredients. This could lead to dense cupcakes.

- Bake in the center of your oven to promote even cooking.

With these simple steps and helpful tips, you can create rich, delicious chocolate cupcakes that will impress your friends and family. Enjoy the process of baking and savor every bite of these decadent treats. Happy baking!
