Mmm...Nutella


It was a warm Sunday afternoon when my friends and I decided to do some impromptu baking. Our goal: to use up Amy's expired jar of half-empty Nutella. After vetoing various recipes from google for requiring ingredients we didn't have/being too complicated/being questionable (I'm looking at you, Allison. 😉), we finally decided to just make some basic chocolate cake and swirl in some Nutella.

Okay, the swirling in part was less than successful (it tends to glob more than swirl). However, we did get the chance to use the mini-bunt cake pan that my sister and I had given Amy a few years ago for Christmas.



We just filled in the middle with Nutella and I was quite proud of somewhat managing a swirl! (Check out the beauty of that picture up top!)

We also tried stuffed cupcakes and those didn't quite turn out...


The cake is still tasty but the you can't tell where the Nutella is, can you?
We keep saying it but we really should do more baking together in the future. It was a lot of fun!

When You Are in the Mood for Cute


Folding Origami stars is very relaxing. All those available cute designs make it incredibly tempting to just keep making more.
