  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Place cupcake liners in a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, cream the butter with a mixer on medium speed until the butter is light and fluffy (30-60 seconds). With the mixer running, gradually add the sugar. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue beating on medium-high speed for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, beating on medium speed after each addition (about 30 seconds each time). Add the vanilla and melted chocolate and beat until well combined. On low speed, add the dry ingredients (flour, etc.) in three parts. Mix well and fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake the cupcakes for about 20-22 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes and let them cool on a wire rack.
  • Reserve some vanilla frosting and with the rest, tint it green until the desired color is achieved.
  • Using a piping bag, put the green frosting on top of the cooled cupcakes. Place the chocolate ball on top.
