Chocolate Cupcake with whipped cream

This recipe was adapted from Family Favorites Muffins and Cupcakes published by Parragon. However, for ease, replaced the cream cheese frosting topping with whipped cream and then dust lightly with sifted cocoa. Made 12 cupcakes instead of 18 as recommended, ending up making it looks bigger and just like muffins :-)

For those who prefers it plain ......

For those who loves it with whipped cream ......

For my daughter who asked for more, more whipped cream ........
Ingredients
6 tbsp butter
100 g caster sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
