  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4) and line a 12 hole muffin tin with cupcake cases.

  2. 2

    Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, then add the butter in cubes and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and add the sugar and stir. The mixture will become a strange congealed texture but don’t worry that’s ok. Leave to cool for about 10 minutes then add the vanilla extract and using a freestanding or electric mixer beat for 3-4 minutes until smooth.

    For this step you'll need:

    • White chocolate chips a handful, to decorate
    • 100g Butter (unsalted)
    • 110g Unrefined golden caster sugar
    • 1tsp Vanilla extract
  3. 3

    Add the eggs one by one beating after each until well mixed.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 3 Egg(s) (free range)
  4. 4

    Sieve in the flour and baking powder, then fold in.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 75g Plain white flour
    • 1tsp Baking powder
  5. 5

    Then add the wasabi paste and stir until evenly mixed.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 1 tbsp Wasabi paste
  6. 6

    Spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases and bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer come out clean. Then leave to cool.

  7. 7

    To make the buttercream place the icing sugar and butter in a large bowl and using a freestanding mixer or electric whisk mix on slow speed until the texture is sandy, then add the milk and vanilla extract and turn the speed up. Mix for about 5 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. Then add some green colour until you have a pale green icing.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 500g Icing sugar
    • 160g Butter (unsalted)
  8. 8

    Use a piping bag to pipe the buttercream onto the cakes, then decorate with some white chocolate chips. For and extra special finish sprinkle some gold glitter on top of each decorated cake.

    For this step you'll need:

    • White chocolate chips a handful, to decorate
