Preheat the oven to 160°C, Gas 3
Using a hand held electric whisk or freestanding mixer cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs and vanilla paste, beating in between each addition.
Sieve in the flour and baking powder
Pour the mixture into the cupcake tin, approx 2/3 in the large base and 1/3 in the lid
Bake in the oven for 1 hour, until the sponge is springy to the touch and golden brown in colour
Cool and turn onto a wire rack to cool completely
To make the frosting
Whisk the icing sugar, cocoa powder and butter until the mixture has a sandy consistency, add the milk then whisk on a high speed until soft and fluffy
Use some of the frosting to sandwich the base and lid of the cupcake together, then cover the lid with the rest of the frosting using a palette knife
To decorate sprinkle silver balls over the top
