Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Put the flour, 3 tbsp cocoa, the baking powder and sugar into a large bowl. Stir to combine and create a well in the middle.
- Mix the remaining cocoa powder with 4 tbsp boiling water. Pour into the well with the eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric hand whisk or wooden spoon until just combined and smooth.
- Stir through 75g chocolate. Divide the mixture between the cases and scatter the remaining chocolate over the top. Bake for 15-20 mins or until an inserted tip of a knife comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Tip: Try not to overmix the muffin batter as this will make the muffins tough – it is better to undermix and leave a few streaks of flour than to overmix. You only need to mix until the ingredients are just combined and smooth.
