Banana Split Cupcakes

Hey guys, I'm back after trying out Wordpress. It was good, but I still prefer Blogger. So new recipes will be posted up at least once a month, and here is one recipe I have tried 3 weeks ago. This is a chocolate cupcake with banana custard in the middle, topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. The idea initially came from BakersRoyale, but a added my own variation by having a chocolate cupcake instead of a banana one, and whipped cream instead of buttercream. Banana cupcakes didn't interest me much as cupcakes with bananas just doesn't seem right. But still, this recipe is worth a try for banana lovers (:
