Hay Hay, It's Donna Day!

Barbara from Winosandfoodie has came up with a great idea of having a Donna Hay Day on 19 Nov. All we have to do is to bake our own version of Donna Hay's Self-frosting Cupcake and post it on our blog. Being a huge fan of this cook and food stylist from Australia, this is an event that I'm not going to miss!

Self-frosting cupcake is a recipe from Donna Hay's Modern Classics 2. It's actually cupcakes swirled with peanut butter. You can get the original recipe from here. Baking the cakes was a breeze, it only took me 30 minutes to prepare the batter and another 20 minutes or so to bake it.

To get two types of cupcakes, the batter was divided into two batches. The first batch was swirled with Nutella, which was an idea from Nic of Baking Sheet, who started this self-frosting cupcake craze. [Picture at top left]

The second batch of batter was mixed with a few tablespoons of Bailey's Irish Cream and swirled with cream cheese, a weird combination, I know, it's my pathetic attempt at being creative... ;-) However, the cream cheese is not really visible in the picture. [Picture at bottom left]

Thanks you Barbara for hosting this event, I can't wait for the round-up!
