eats ! my 2nd cupcake

 

I guess you can tell i'm really digging the cupcake thing. For my friend's birthday, i decided to make her something with Reese's Pieces since it's one of her favorite... and mine. 

Method for vanilla cupcakes

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line your muffin pan with paper cases.

Step 2:

Mix the caster sugar and eggs. And beat. 

Step 3:

Add the butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, flour and sour cream. Beat it all together. 

Step 4:

Spoon the mixture into the prepared paper muffin cases. And add the Reese's Pieces.

Step 5:

Bake for 20 minutes at 170C. When its golden, take it out and let it cool. 

Method for the Nutella icing

Step 1:

Beat butter until its smooth. Add the icing sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until combined, adding however amount of Nutella you'd like.

The best part

When the cupcakes have cooled, spread the icing on top. And sprinkle on some Reese's Pieces. Now, you're done.

There are a lot of different types of ingredients and methods out there but this is the one i was taught...and for someone that doesn't like cupcakes, this one wasn't as sweet as the others i've tasted. So definitely a favorite in my book. Simple and subtle.
