Preheat the oven to 180ºc/160ºfan and get 12 baking cups/muffin cases ready.
Beat the unsalted butter and light brown soft sugar together until light and fluffy
Add the self raising flour, cocoa powder and eggs and beat again until combined.
Split between the 12 cases and then bake for 20-22+ minutes, until fully baked.
Leave to cool fully
Frosting
Beat the unsalted butter on it's own for a few minutes to soften
Add the icing sugar and cocoa powder and start to beat again

Decoration
Pipe the frosting onto the 12 cooled cupcakes with your favourite piping tip
