Monday, April 23, 2007 Nutella Banana Cupcakes [[Nutella Bliss]]
 When my sis message me to look for a recipe for her, I knew I had to ask her to bake this one. For those who don't know my sister, she loves nutella and she adores bananas. (she can eat 3 bananas in a single day. or maybe even in one sitting) I chanced upon this recipe on deliciousdays.com and thought that it must be really interesting. I wish Grace is here to try this 'cause I know she loves banana and chocolate stuff. And so we spent the gloomy and dreary afternoon baking delicious cupcakes and filling the kitchen with smells of melted chocolate and smashed up bananas. I must say that they are really better than I thought they would be. Even for a non-banana eater like me. =) The recipe doesn't use much sugar so it's not so sweet. Good for me though I'm not sure what others would say. Oh yes. another discovery of the day. COOKIE CUTTERS! how I love them. Managed to find these adorable ones from BeautyWorld Center. Of all places. I think it's absolutely cute. I can't wait to bake cookies.  Cookie cutters to die for The naked cupcakes The whole table filled with chocolate frosted cupcakes ***** Nutella Banana Cupcakes (by Delicious days) Makes about 24 medium muffins 2 eggs 125g soft butter 100g sugar 2 large ripe bananas 100g Nutella 100ml milk 1 tsp baking soda 250g flour 2 tsp baking powder 150g (milk) chocolate coating for decoration: nuts, sugar pearls, ... 1 Cream together in a large bowl the eggs, butter and sugar, then fold in squashed banana and the Nutella. Whisk. 2 In a separate bowl, combine milk and baking soda and blend well. Also separately, mix the flour with the baking powder. 3 Now alternately blend in a part of the milk mixture, then a part of the flour mix, part of the milk, … until everything is combined. Hereby you have better control over how the consistency of the dough develops. 4 Now pour batter into greased or paper-lined muffin tins and bake at 180° Celsius (350° Fahrenheit) in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check if the muffins are done by poking in a wooden skewer - it should come out quite dry and almost clean. Put them out of the oven and let them cool down completely. 5 Add a thick layer of (milk) chocolate coating and optionally some decoration (nuts, sugar pearls, …).
