Let’s imagine that you’ve got a packet of blueberries and a tub of Nutella sitting around, why not put them to good use and make these!

Ingredients:

140g softened butter

1/2 cup caster sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1.5 cups of self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp milk

 Method:

Line tray with cupcake liners and preheat over to 150°C

Cream together butter and sugar. (I’ve realised how important this step is as the lighter and fluffier you get this, the lighter and fluffier your cupcakes will turn out). I beat mine for a good 4 mins.

Add in the eggs 1 at a time.

Fold sifted flour in gradually and add vanilla and baking powder. Add milk to give consistency you desire.

Fill each muffin liner with batter until 2/3 full.

For the blueberry cupcakes, I filled the liners till 1/2 full, add some blueberries and top it up with the remaining 1/3 batter. Finish off with a few blueberries on top.

For the nutella cupcakes, fill the liners till 3/4 full and top with 1 tsp of nutella (or however much you like). Using a cocktail stick, swirl the nutella and batter into a nice swirly pattern.

Bake for 15-20mins.

Enjoy!
