Nutella Cupcakes

Nutella Cupcakes are filled with Nutella and topped with it too!  A rich and moist cupcake that is sure to be a hit.

Nutella is a favorite at our house and we love putting in and on everything!  Nutella Crunch Ice Cream is a favorite.  We also love Nutella Popcorn and these Nutella Mug Cake.

How to Make Nutella Cupcakes

Sift your dry ingredients to avoid clumps and to make the dry ingredients light and easy to mix.

Beat the butter and sugar together for at least 5 minutes until it is light and fluffy and has changed color.

Mix oil and egg together before adding it to the batter.  This will give a better “crumb” to your cupcake.

Use a scoop to fill your cupcake liners to make sure your cupcakes are all the same size.

Using a teaspoon or a smaller scoop, place a scoop of Nutella on top of each cupcake.

Take a toothpick and gently push and swirl the Nutella down into the cupcake.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes.  Bake until the sides of the cupcake spring back when touched.  The top of the cupcake may still look slightly wet because of the Nutella.

Remove the Nutella cupcakes from the baking pan right after removing from the oven so they don’t continue to bake in the pan.  Don’t allow them to cool in the pan.

Tip for Perfect Cupcakes

• After removing them from the pan, allow them to cool and steam in a closed container.  This is a great tip for cupcakes and muffins and helps create a softer, moister cupcake or muffin

After cupcakes are totally cooled frost with Nutella Frosting.
