Process
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160C and line a 12 capacity muffin tray with cupcake liners.
Step 2
Place caster sugar and butter in a bowl. Use electric beaters to cream the butter and sugar. Once the butter is light in colour add in the vanilla extra and eggs, one at a time.
Step 3
Sift in ¼ of the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa and salt into the butter mixture. Alternate with the almond milk, stirring in-between until a thick mixture forms.
Step 4
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tray. Fill the cupcake liners till they are ¾ full.
Step 5
Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Step 6
Meanwhile to make the ganache, melt the dark chocolate chips and use a fork to whisk in the almond milk. Cover and place in the fridge to cool down.
Step 7
Once cool, spoon it into a large mixing bowl and use electric beaters to whip it, aerating the ganache.
Step 8
Once the Chocolate muffins are completely cooled, top with ganache.
