You Mean The World To Me
Happy Sunday everyone. If you don’t feel like braving the chilly outdoors, then why not indulge in a little home-sweet-home baking?
Today’s oh-so-tasty recipe is brought to you by Lucy, Editor of the delicious blog Supergolden Bakes. Lucy will be showing you how to create the crème de la crème of cupcakes – seriously, they are divine. But beware, once you try these little beauties, there will be no going back, they are literally all you’ll be able to think about! Enjoy…
This cupcake was inspired by a cake my mum used to make when I was little. It has a moist, fluffy sponge and an incredibly addictive Swiss meringue buttercream frosting laced through with crunchy hazelnut praline. Every single person who has eaten one of these babies has emitted something between a sigh and a moan upon biting into one. Yes, they are THAT good.
