On Easter, I thought I would bust out some fancy cupcakes to accompany brunch. Since everyone is a fan of Nutella, I thought vanilla cupcakes with nutella would be a hit. And, they were (no surprise).
I used Martha Stewart's vanilla cupcake recipe which makes 12 cupcakes. I then dropped a dollop of nutella onto the cupcake and with a toothpick, I swirled the nutella.
Once baked, the swirl sunk. I had to top the cupcakes with another dollop (which was fine).
The cupcakes did not last long.
On a side note, I found a use for the handful of pie dough I always have left over after I make a couple pies. Does this happen to anyone else??? It is enough dough to feel guilty about throwing out but not enough dough for another pie. So..... I made these mini pop tarts the next morning and they were delicious. I sprinkled cinamon and sugar in between the layers.
Happy Spring and chocolate goodness!
