Nutella Cupcakes: A Decadent Chocolate Delight

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined.

Gradually stir in the hot water or coffee. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal!

Divide the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.

Step 2: Fill with Nutella
Using a small knife or piping tip, cut out a small hole in the center of each cupcake.

Fill each hole with about 1 teaspoon of Nutella (you can use a piping bag or a spoon).

Place the cut-out piece of cupcake back on top to cover the filling.

Step 3: Make the Nutella Buttercream Frosting
Beat the butter in a bowl until creamy.

Add Nutella and mix until smooth.

Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well.

Add vanilla and milk, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble
Pipe or spread the Nutella buttercream frosting onto the cooled, filled cupcakes.

Drizzle with extra Nutella or sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts for garnish.
