Kinder Bueno Cupcakes

filled with Kinder chocolate buttercream!

Ingredients: Cupcakes
150g self-raising flour
50g cocoa powder
120g brown sugar
200g softened butter (unsalted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs

Ingredients: Kinder Buttercream
100g kinder chocolate (melted)
150g cups butter softened (unsalted)
300g icing sugar

Extras: Kinder Bueno pieces

Method:
Step 1: Heat the oven at 180˚C and line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake cases and set aside. 

Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl whisk the butter and brown sugar until light and smooth. Next, add in the eggs and give it a quick whisk, then add in your self-raising flour and cocoa and again whisk until fully combined.

Step 3: Divide the batter evenly into the cupcake cases and bake for about 20 minutes, or by using a skewer to see if the middle has been fully baked.

Step 4: Remove from the tray and allow to cool down on the wire rack.

Step 5: To make the buttercream, whisk the butter until smooth and soft.

Step 6: Add in the icing sugar (use a sieve if lumpy) and whisk together with the butter. Finally, add in the melted kinder chocolate and whisk until you get a smooth but stiff consistency.

Step 7: Once the cupcakes are cool, use a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle to pipe the cakes with the kinder frosting, finish by adding the kinder bueno pieces on top. 

Enjoy!
