Chocolate Hazelnut cupcake

I've been caught up with the cupcake craze..
My latest baking project is Nutella Cupcakes. or chocolate hazelnut cupcake.

Ingredients:
100g dark chocolate
65g butter
100g Nutella
65g brown sugar (i put only 40g but i think sugar is unnecessary. the choch is sweet enough)
100g ground almond
2 eggs

1. Melt the chocolate, butter and Nutella. Mix until smooth (A)
2. Separate eggs
3. Beat egg yolk with brown sugar
4. Mix (A)
5. Beat egg white until soft peaks form
6. Fold in egg whites into batter
7. Spoon batter into paper cups in muffin tray
8. Bake in pre-heated oven at 175 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes

and comes my favourite part. Decorating!

i used whipping cream, hundreds and thousands, Hershey chocolate syrup and chocolate curls.

be creative, feel free to experiment and the sky is the limit!

CREATION 1- COLOURS

CREATION 2 - SPIDERWEB

CREATION 3- BUTTERFLY CUPCAKE ^-^

CREATION 4- ANYTHING GOES....

This cupcake is dense and chocolaty and very rich but not much nutella taste. but its a bit too sweet. I shall omit the sugar next time.

happy baking =)
