Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Put the butterfly whisk on the blade and add the butter and the sugar. Beat for 2 minutes, at 37°C on speed 3.
3. Program 1 minute on speed 3 and, with the machine running, add the eggs. With the help of the spatula, bring down the mixture that was accumulated on the sides of the mixing bowl and program a further 1 minute on speed 3.
4. Add the milk, the flour and the baking powder, mixing for 30 seconds on speed 4.
5. Put cupcake liners in a muffin baking tray and, with the aid of a spoon, fill them halfway. Put in the oven for 20 minutes and leave them to cool after taking them out of the tray.
6. Prepare the topping: put the sugar in a clean and dry mixing bowl and program 20 seconds on speed 10. With the spatula, scrape down the accumulated sugar from the sides of the mixing bowl.
7. Add the soft cheese and the choco-nut spread and set for 30 seconds on speed 5.
8. Stir well with the spatula, transfer to a piping bag and put in the fridge for a while. Decorate the cupcakes and sprinkle them with granulated chocolate.
