Chocolate mini-muffins

This is a recipe for chocolate cake, made with grated summer squash (grown in the garden, grated, and frozen), that I used to make mini-muffins (or maybe more accurately, mini-cupcakes). The batter went easily into a poche à douille (pastry bag) which I then used to fill the muffin molds.

Chocolate mini-muffins cooling on a rack.

I'll serve them sprinkled with powdered sugar as dessert for tonight's finger-food evening of football watching.

They look lovely and very cute. Is it the chocolate courgette cake recipe?
I have a mini ice-cream scoop, the sort with a lever mechanism, that is very good for filling mini muffin pans.
