The creamy Nutella frosting is seriously magical and just about melts-in-your-mouth. But I also love the surprise teaspoon of Nutella hiding inside. Remove the piece you just cut, and cut off the tip of the divot. Just follow the basic yellow cupcake recipe below, and then once they are cooled, get a piping bag or ziploc bag with the end cut off, and add the nutella inside the cupcake.
Nutella filled cupcakes step by step
- Preheat the oven to 180⁰/gas mark 5. Put cupcake cases in a tray..
- Mix the butter and caster sugar together until smooth..
- Add eggs and mix till smooth and then add flour and stir until combined..
- Add the coco powder and the melted dark chocolate and the oil and stir all together until smooth and all combined..
- Add evenly to the cases and cook until you can put a knife in one and if it comes out clean then its cooked. Take them out of the tray and put on a cooling rack to cool completely..
- Beat the butter for about 5 minutes then add the icing sugar and when it's all mixed in add your milk. Then add the coco powder and the melted chocolate..
- Cut out the middle of the cupcake and add nutella and put the middle back in. You can either melt the nutella or just put it in how it is in the jar..
- Add the buttercream onto the cakes and add the chocolates that you want to..
I worked the nutella with my hands to warm it up slightly and make it workeable, but it's not rocket science. Adding nutella to the middle, just makes it better!! Fill a piping bag with Nutella and pipe a small amount into the centre of each cake then top with the remaining sponge that you had removed. To finish your cupcakes, fill another piping bag with a star nozzle and your Nutella buttercream and pipe swirls on to the top of each cupcake. Fill the centers of the cupcakes with Nutella, then pipe the Nutella frosting onto the cupcakes.
