The Ultimate Nutella Cupcake Recipe: A Rich and Decadent Treat



When it comes to desserts, chocolate is always a top favorite. But if you're looking to elevate your baking game, why not try something a little more indulgent? Enter Nutella cupcakes—rich, nutty, and irresistibly delicious. Infused with the unique flavor of hazelnuts, these cupcakes bring a perfect balance of chocolatey goodness and creamy Nutella filling. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

For 12 medium-sized or 10 large cupcakes, you will need:

  • 50g Nutella
  • 50g Hazelnuts
  • 120g Sugar
  • 100g Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs (at room temperature)
  • 110g Butter
  • 45g Cocoa Powder

Instructions:

Step 1: Roast the Hazelnuts

Preheat your oven to 110°C (230°F) and roast the hazelnuts for 12 minutes until they turn golden brown. Alternatively, you can roast them in a pan over low heat. Once cooled, blend them into a coarse powder.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a mixing bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and whisk them until frothy. You can use a hand mixer for this step.
  2. Gradually add sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is light and aerated.
  3. Add butter and whisk for a few more minutes until well combined.

Step 3: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
  2. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula—avoid overmixing.
  3. Add the blended hazelnut powder and gently fold until the batter is smooth.

Step 4: Fill the Cupcake Molds

  1. Pour the batter into cupcake molds, filling each ¾ full.
  2. Tap the mold gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 5: Bake the Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F).
  2. Bake for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cupcakes cool completely before moving to the next step.

Nutella Filling & Frosting:

Step 6: Fill with Nutella

  1. Once the cupcakes have cooled, create a small hole in the center of each cupcake.
  2. Fill each hole with Nutella for a gooey, rich surprise.
  3. (Optional) Add a roasted hazelnut inside each cupcake for an extra crunch.

Step 7: Prepare the Frosting

  1. Whip some heavy cream with a little sugar until soft peaks form.
  2. Add a spoonful of Nutella to the whipped cream and mix gently.
  3. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes using a piping bag.
  4. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder and a whole hazelnut on top.
