Nutella Cupcakes with Chocolate Chip

 If you are a lover of Nutella like me, then this cupcake would be worthy to go with your Cappucino. For me i would choose a Hazelnut flavoured caffe latte.  I was very proud of what i have baked that i was pleased to put on my cake stand and welcome some friends  to help me sample it. 

 This Nutella cupcake recipe taken from Cuisine Paradise. I have double up the ingredients so can make 12, and added some chopped hazelnuts, and instead of buying choc chip, i had a bar of milk chocolate, so its like chunky choc inside the cake.
