The Sweeter Side

I bought a HUGE jar of Nutella, which is more than I definitely know what to do with so I tried to use it in a cupcake recipe. The cake itself is a box cake, but I spaced out for a bit and mixed it for longer than it said by 1-2 miinutes and the batter turned out a-mayyy-zing~! It tasted like I made it from scratch, fluffy and moist. I have tried making a buttercream frosting but it has never turned out this good before. I added a lot more cream than the recipe called for and it made the texture a lot lighter. I ended up putting way too much nutella because I made the Boyface taste it instead. All in all, definitely an easy and solid cupcake. Everyone enjoyed it a lot. Nutella Cupcakes Yellow cupcake topped with a Nutella buttercream.

I didn't end up taking a picture of my cake as I was very disappointed with the whole thing. But! I did make these yesterday. I found the recipe in my roommate's cookbook and just decided to substitute the melted chocolate you use with Nutella. This was actually very simple to make and there are a lot of recipes just on line if anyone is interested in finding out how to make them. I think it worked out pretty good, but it really doesn't taste any different than if you just took a spoonful of Nutella and ate that. Haha, but that's fine, the presentation still awed people.
