Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries Call me easily amused, but these little torch-topped cupcakes delight me. Besides being a cute novelty item for a party, I think they would add a little drama to the end of a romantic meal. I've been looking for something different to serve for Valentine's dessert, and this is definitely different. The strawberries are hollowed out and filled with a bit of liquor, then ignited with a match. For the cake portion, I chose a One Bowl Chocolate Cupcake recipe because 1. it's quick 2. it is easy, and 3. it fits my prerequisite for a light ending on date night. I should say, a light ending provided you don't eat too many. The cakes are just sweet enough, and have a light, fluffy crumb - the perfect vehicle for rich chocolate buttercream. Notes for flaming strawberries:Any alcohol below 80 proof will not ignite well. Shaina made a margarita version of this on Babble Food.

Your Cup of Cake: Homemade Oreos (Updated photo from my March 2014 cookbook, see how I took the photos in my Photography Lesson #2 post) The Story: I will try desserts that I have at parties, and think to myself “I can make this better.” The first time I had these, they were good. er baked and the filling had way too much sugar. This recipe is so easy and always gets rave reviews. If you love Oreos, you will think these are the Oreos from heaven. If you want to make the cookie look a little classier, you can just top a single cookie with the filling, and place a raspberry or slice of strawberry on top. Ingredients Cookies: 1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix, I prefer Pillsbury 2 eggs 1/3 cup oil Filling: 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 1/2 - 2 cups powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. ! 8.

|Feistycook| SELF-FROSTING NUTELLA CUPCAKES When I bought the jar of Nutella last weekend I made a vow (yes I did) that part of the Nutella will be made into cupcakes. I’ve always planned to do that whenever I buy one but it never gets that far. Darn those nutella sandwiches and occasional spoon licking. Well, I finally made self-frosting nutella cupcakes and golly they were so beautiful and delicious. This self-frosting nutella cupcakes recipe was adapted from Connie of Pinoycook which she got from Baking Bites. 10 tbsp butter, softened 3/4 cup white sugar 3 eggs 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour 1/4 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 1/3 cup Nutella Preheat the oven to 325°. Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar together Do this until light and creamy. Add one egg at a time. Beat the mixture after each egg. Add vanilla, then the flour, baking powder and salt. The mixture would be sort of lumpy like it would be hard to pour. Use an ice cream scooper to fill up the cups with the batter. Serve cool or a slightly warm. .
