Usual method, combine all dry ingredient with the butter mix until sand like texture, mix the egg with the milk and vanilla essence pour in slowly until a even batter texture is formed. Fill 12 cupcake cases 2/3 full, bake for around 12 minutes.

Once completely cooled ice.
Mix the butter and icing sugar together until sand like texture is formed add the mint hot chocolate followed by the milk and vanilla essence, mix on full speed for 5 whole minutes this makes the icing really light and fluffy.
