Self-Frosted Nutella Cupcakes

You make some cupcake batter. You take a tablespoon of Nutella and swirl it in. You pop it in the oven.

You have the best cupcake in the history of man.

Self-Frosted Nutella Cupcakes (adapted from Baking Bites)

10 tbsp(140 grams) butter, softened

3/4 cup white sugar

3 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 3/4 cups  sifted all purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

Nutella

Preheat oven to 325F. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.

Cream together butter and sugar until light, 2 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated. Don’t worry if the batter doesn’t look smooth. Add vanilla. Stir in flour, salt and baking powder until batter is uniform and no flour remains.

Using an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin liner with batter. They should be 3/4 full, if you’re not using a scoop. Top each cake with 1 tbsp Nutella. Swirl Nutella in with a toothpick, making sure to fold a bit of batter up over the nutella.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 12.

These look like the most ridiculously delicious cupcakes ever (with the possible exception of your red velvet cupcakes). I would try these today if I wasn't worried about eating the whole batch by myself!

Oh my goodness... these sound AMAZING. I love nutella, and how can you go wrong with cupcakes. Thanks for posting! I'll have to try these.

Ooooh! This sounds too good to actually exist and yet here they are before my eyes. Too bad they're not in my stomach -yet.

Seriously?? Nutella cupcakes? It's hard to imagine many things that could be better...

[Trish Lathourakis]

I really am craving these now. Just went out for Italian and ordered a nutella pizza which had the thinnest layer of nutella. We asked for more and they said they had run out, which is ridiculous.....so disappointing.

....and now I look and these and wish I stayed home to cook.

the headset can be connected to another external small share. All in all purely designed for the professional DJ headphones. I compared the sound quality, "fungus", bass and STUDIO comparable (looks like a little bit strong), high tenor slightly strengthened
