Baking

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas mark 6 and line the tin with the cupcake cases.
Put all the ingredients except for the milk in the processor and then blitz till smooth. Pulse while adding milk, to make for a soft, dropping consistency, down the funnel. Alternatively put all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and use an electric hand mixer. Spoon into the cases equally.
Put in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cupcakes are cooked and golden on top, check to see if the cupcakes are ready by inserting a cocktail stick into one of the cupcakes. If it comes out dry then the cupcakes are done.As soon as possible, take the cupcakes in their cases out of the tin and let cool, on a wire rack.

Buttercream icing

For the buttercream icing, mix butter with the icing sugar and cocoa powder. Continue to mix until smooth adding the milk to loosen the buttercream.
Spread the chocolate buttercream using a palette knife on top of the cupcakes, creating a flat surface and smooth gently with the palette knife. Don’t worry too much as most of the buttercream will be covered with marshmallows!

Decorating

Take some white mini marshmallows and cut in half diagonally across the middle. Dip the cut marshmallows in a bowl full of Cake Angels Super Sour Sprinkles. The cut side is sticky and will stick to the sprinkles.
Gently push the marshmallow halves into the chocolate buttercream, starting at the outside edge of the cupcake with the ‘pointy’ part of the cut marshmallow pointing outwards. Complete the circle. Now create a second inner circle of petals in the same way.
Cover the centre with Cake Angels Chocoholic Sprinkles to complete your sunflower cupcakes.
