Fluffy Vanilla Cupcakes with a surprise inside…enjoy the crunch of our sweet, caramelised Praline Almonds combined with melted Nutella in the centre. All the more tempting with a chocolate buttercream icing on top.
These cupcakes are easy to make and the texture is lovely and moist. They taste especially nice warm, but they will stay fresh for a few days (if there are any left...!)
