How can you go wrong with sugar, white flour, chocolate and hazelnut? If I ever make these cupcakes again I definitely would use a little less Nutella as I think I went a bit overboard topping the batter, and it made for a messy challenge trying to make attractively swirled tops.
Ingredients:
10 tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup nutella
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
2. Cream together butter and sugar.
3. Add in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated.
4. Add vanilla.
5. Stir in flour, salt and baking powder until batter is uniform and no flour remains.
6. Using a scoop, fill each muffin liner 3/4 full with batter.
7. Top each cake with 1 1/2 tsp Nutella.
8. Swirl Nutella in with a toothpick, making sure to fold a bit of batter up over the nutella.
9. Bake for 20 minutes.
10. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
