1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.

2. 2

   Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar and curd, mixing until smooth.

5. 5

   Sift the flour into the mixture and gently fold it in until just combined.

6. 6

   Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

8. 8

   Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
