Happy 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day America!!

If you know me, you'd know my favorite recipe is chocolate Nutella cupcakes an they're perfect to celebrate anything! Here they are with a patriotic twist...which is super delicious! I dare you try them! Warning: These are very addictive! 



For the cupcakes, follow the chocolate cake recipe on the back of Hershey's cocoa. Or you can find it here: 

Scoop out some of the center and fill with Nutella! Yum!!



Make a rosette or spread this delicious Cream Cheese Frosting on the top of each cupcake. (My new favorite frosting! It's not too sweet and has great cream cheesy flavor!) 
(Thank you to Heather at http://www.wheretheyounglearntofly.com/2012/06/aqua-ombre-rose-cake.html for sharing this recipe on Pinterest!)

Cream Cheese Frosting
-2 sticks unsalted butter (room temp)
-2 blocks cream cheese (room temp)
-pinch of salt
-1 TB vanilla extract
-1 large bag of powdered sugar 

Beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy and then add salt and vanilla. Lastly add the powdered sugar very SLOWLY or it will explode in your face and leave you powdery and sweet (like I accidentally did!) and a HUGE mess to clean up!
Top with blueberries and strawberries for the red, white and blue! And then DEVOUR!!! It might also be a good idea to share since the recipe makes about 36 cupcakes! 



Happy baking!
