My cure for an awful day.

Sometimes you just need to make yourself feel better, or more importantly your love when a bad day has been had.

What, you ask could make someones day better so much better?

Why cupcakes of course!!


Not just any cupcakes, but Banana cupcakes with Nutella frosting.
Yum. 
^_^


Banana Cake Recipe                          Directions
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour                                     -Preheat oven to 350°
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder                                    -Cream butter and Sugar together until fluffy
   1/2 tsp Baking Soda                  -In separate bowl mix Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Salt
   1/4 tsp Salt                                               -Add Eggs + Vanilla to Butter/Sugar mixture
   3/4 cup White Sugar                                          -Add Flour mixture
1 tsp Vanilla                                                             -Add Bananas
1 Stick Unsalted Butter, softened
2 Eggs                                                                -Line pan with cupcake liners
3 Large ripe bananas, mashed                             -Evenly disperse batter
                                                                            -Bake for 25-30 Minutes



Now the frosting I made wasn't really frosting because I didn't have any powder sugar.
( I only realized this once I mixed the Nutella and Butter.. oh well it was still tasty.)
You could always just use straight up Nutella, or honestly the cake didn't even need anything it was so good.

Nutella Frosting                     Directions
2 TBS Softened Butter                              -Mix Butter and Nutella until evenly combined
 1/2 tsp Vanilla                                           -Add Vanilla
2 TBS Nutella                         -Mix Powdered Sugar, Salt, Cocoa powder together in separate bowl
1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar                         -Alternate adding Milk and cocoa/sugar till smooth
1 tsp Cocoa Powder                                      -Now top that tasty cake with it
Dash o' salt
4 tsp Milk


The hearts in the picture are made from some fondant that I had laying around.

Now go spread some love!
