Description

Deliciously rich Nutella cupcakes that are moist and fluffy, perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or plant-based alternative)
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (smooth and spreadable)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, beat melted butter until creamy. Gradually add sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually combine wet and dry mixtures, alternating with milk, without overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in Nutella for a marbled effect.
  7. Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full; bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow cooling completely before frosting or serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based milk.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy cupcakes.
