Ganache

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 160°C. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper patty cases.
2.In a small saucepan, bring milk to boiling point on high. Add teabags and remove from heat. Infuse 5 minutes.
3.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer beat butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4.Sift flour and cinnamon together into a bowl. Lightly fold into creamed mixture alternately with cooled milk, beginning and ending with flour. Spoon into cases until two-thirds full.
5.Bake 20-25 minutes, until golden and cooked when tested. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6.To make ganache, place chocolate in a small, heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat cream until almost boiling. Pour over chocolate. Set aside 2 minutes. Stir gently, until smooth. Cool until a spreadable consistency.
7.Spread ganache over cooled cakes. Top with chocolate curls.

To make small curls, drag a vegetable peeler sideways along a block of white chocolate (at room temperature).
