R.I.P DIET?
Delish Mutella cupcakes are in the house!
Why are these called Mutella?
There are loads of Nutella cakes and recipe ideas online, I wanted to create a cupcake which won't make you feel like you are committing a culinary crime eating it. I've made this recipe gluten free and really simple. Nutella is combined in the sponge, filling and butter cream.
Plus I like the name Mutella.
From childhood to adulthood Nutella is a jar of goodness that fills a gap after a horrible or great day at school or work. My mum hardly ever bought it and when she did I would finish a jar in five days and even insist on taking a small filled tub to have with crackers at school. Dangerous times. I think that's how my obsession with chocolate began!

I still get a kick from piercing the gold film and reaching into the jar with a grin on my face, still having no portion control when I spread it on toast. The thicker the better.
I made these cakes for a friend who has set up her own beauty parlour in Shoreditch. I met her four years ago and she worked every year on her goal until she found the right location. She deserved some fun cupcakes to celebrate.
