NUTELLA STUFFED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Sweetest Menu got a makeover! 💅🏻

In case, you don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you might not have heard the big news. Sweetest Menu has a new do! Including a beautiful new logo! 👆🏻  The website might not look dramatically different, but believe it or not, these changes have taken me months to put together.

That’s part of the reason posting around here has been a bit haphazard the past few weeks. But I got there in the end and I’m so excited to share the new site with you today. Along with these gorgeous Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes.

So for those who are interested in the more technical details, I actually switched blogging platforms. I made the move from SquareSpace over to WordPress. It may not seem like much but because I’ve been blogging for a few years now, there was a lot of content to move. Plus I originally started blogging on Blogger, so I have a bit of a platform ‘legacy’ that needed extra work.

But I managed to move over hundreds of recipes and thousands of comments – which was the most important part to me. I also had to import every. single. photo. MANUALLY. I shiver at the thought – that was a mighty task.

But I did it and I’m so happy I did.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Chocolate cupcakes
2. Preheat the oven to 160C (320 F). Line a 12 hole muffin tin with patty cases. In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and then add the sugars – give it a little stir. Pop the butter into the microwave for a short burst, 10 seconds or so at a time, until it is just melted.
3. Give it a stir with a fork to eliminate any lumps.  In a separate mixing bowl, add the eggs, vanilla and butter and whisk together until smooth. Then add the wet mixture into the dry mixture, along with the buttermilk and gently fold until just combined.
