Aspiring Bakers #13: Enjoy Cupcakes! Rocher Cupcake

 Cupcake is equal cute cake for me, ^^. I always love to make it. This month I join the Aspiring Bakers #13: Enjoy Cupcakes! There are a lot of recipes to choose, well they are so tempting.

Rocher Cupcake 
 I like the Ferrero Rocher very much, how can I put it in the cupcake. But chopping it into pieces will ruin its taste, so I think about serve it whole piece.
I play with the cake instead. Starting from very basic chocolate cake, just add a chocolate chip and Frangelico, with both chocolate and Frangelico the cupcake will be intense with chocolate taste and a lovely hazelnut smell. Follow by thick Frangelico chocolate cream, that will connect the cupcake with the Ferrero Rocher. 
The cupcake has a rich taste of chocolate, great hazelnut aroma and softness of the chocolate cream, well, it's my cupcake, that I hope everyone will enjoy it too.

    Hi, Anonymous
    If it's not very very warm, it won't melt, this one is like whip ganache than whipped cream.
