Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, then add the milk, oil and vanilla essence and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into a lined muffin tray and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until cooked through and golden. Allow to cool.
Remove the centres of the cupcakes with a cupcake corer and fill each with mascarpone cheese.
For the ganache, heat the cream until hot but not boiling, add the chocolate discs and allow them to melt into the cream. Leave to cool and firm up, then use as icing.
Decorate with extra chocolate and vermicelli.
