My Nutella Cookbook

This is my Nutella (please imagine there is an "R" in a circle here) cookbook!
I haven't had the chance to make anything from it yet, but I will :)
I got it in Spain. I hope this doesn't violate any copyright rules...  well, I'm not trying to sell it, so I don't think putting a picture up is illegal.

Suggestions

Hello, everybody!
So, I haven't really been baking lately for two reasons:
1) The only times I can really bake is over the weekend, and the kitchen has been being used the past few weekends
2) I don't know what to bake

I have a recipe book I bought in Spain, and I could use some of those recipes, except for the measurements are all in grams and kilograms and celsius, and I need some help with the Spanish baking lingo.
But anyway, I just wanted some suggestions. What kinds of things would you like me to bake? It doesn't matter if its a kind of cake, I can take a cake recipe and turn it into a cupcake recipe. So, please, comment with some of your favorite things, and I'll try to find a recipe to make them.
Thank you!!!

My Batter Bottle ( alliteration/ tongue twister)

This is a bottle I bought recently. How it works is: you pour the batter into the bottle,
then, you screw the cap back on and the batter comes out of the top. This makes the
cupcakes come out smoother topped! I used the bottle on the lemon cupcakes. You can
see the picture if you would like to see the results :)


My Cupcake Liners!

These are my cupcake liners!! I actually don't know why I am posting this now, seeing as I got these a few months ago. Anyways, they are silicon, so I can just reuse them! They are a bit difficult to wash, but you don't even need a cupcake tin to bake in :)
I have made many a cupcake in these XD

Raspberry Vanilla Cupcakes

This is a recipe I invented (sort of). The vanilla part is from the Joy of Baking website, and I added the raspberries.

INGREDIENTS


1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup  granulated white sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat together the eggs, sugar, and butter, and vanilla extract. Then, in a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate pouring the flour mixture to the batter with the milk.  Melt a small bowl full of frozen raspberries. Then, pour that into the batter. Mix together with a spoon. Pour into cupcake tins. Makes about 12 cupcakes.
ENJOY!! :D
My cupcakes, still in the liners
