Homemade Ferrero Rocher Vanilla Cupcakes

Helloooooooo, It's been so long since I last posted so I thought I would come back a new kind of post... a BAKING POST!! *eeeekkkkk*. I decided to make Ferrero Rocher Vanilla Cupcakes and it's safe to say they turned out a success on the first go! I have such a love for baking all sorts of things and I gave these a go and I will definitely be making them again. If you decide to give these a go I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I did :)

What you will need

• 1/2 Cup of Soft Butter 

• 3/4 Cup Caster Sugar  

• 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

• 2 Eggs

• 1 + 1/2 Cups Standard Flour 

• 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder 

• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 

• 1/4 Cup Milk 

•  1 box of Ferrero Rocher 

• 1 bar of cooking chocolate     

 (This recipe makes 12 cupcakes)

Method 

• Place butter and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl. 

• Measure out the caster sugar and add into the bowl with the butter and vanilla extract. 

• Mix ingredients together until light and fluffy. 

• Add the eggs one at a time, beating in between to make sure they are well mixed together. 

• Sieve the flour, baking powder, and salt together and add to the butter and sugar mixture. 

• Pour in the milk a bit at a time to ensure the mixture does not get too loose. 

• Mix all ingredients well. 

• Add 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each of the cupcake liners.

• Place Ferrero Rocher into each cupcake liner and cover with remaining mixture in the bowl.

•  Place cakes into the oven on gas mark 6 for 20 minutes or until the cupcakes spring back when pressed. 

• Allow to cool for 30 minutes.

• Begin crushing 5 - 6 Ferrero Rocher into a small bowl.

• Break the bar of cooking chocolate and add into a bowl.

• Fill a pot halfway with water and place on small ring of cooker and begin heating the water.

• Place bowl with cooking chocolate on top of the pot on the cooker ensuring the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water in the pot as this will cause the chocolate to burn.

• Allow the chocolate to melt completely.

• When the cupcakes are cooled begin coating with the melted chocolate and sprinkle the crushed Ferreo Rocher on top of the cakes.

• Set the cupcakes aside to allow the chocolate to harden.

• Then ENJOY!!
