Choco Nutella Cupcake Recipe

Baking seems quite a hit among people nowadays.

From simple home-bakers to those who try to master the art of baking,

they all have a story to tell and somehow crave-worthy recipes/secrets.

Counting myself, people fail countless times before they even have

presentable baked goods to serve or sell.

To those who would want to try baking as well,

here is a not-so-tricky Choco Nutella Cupcake Recipe.

For the Cupcake Batter, you'll need:

   1/2 Cup Butter at Room Temperature

   1 1/4 Cup Sugar

   2 Large Eggs at Room Temperature

   3/4 Cup Flour

   1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

   1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda

   1/4 Teaspoon Salt

   1/2 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

   1/2 Cup Milk

   1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Procedure:

   1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

   2. In a mixing bowl, beat butter until softened and smooth.

   3. Add sugar and beat for a few minutes, until light and fluffy.

   4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each until well-combined. Set aside.

   5. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.

   6. In a separate bowl, combine milk and vanilla.

   7. Add about 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar, mix until combined.

   8. Add about 1/2 of wet ingredients to butter mixture and mix until combined.

   9. Continue alternating dry and wet, mixing in between, until well incorporated.

   10. Fill cupcake tins about 1/2 full and bake for around 20-25 minutes,

        until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. They will come out flat.

For the Nutella Buttercream, you'll need:

   1/2 Cup Butter at Room Temperature

   1 Cup Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

   1 Cup Sifted Powdered Sugar

   1 to 2 Tablespoons Milk

Procedure:

   1. Beat butter until smooth.

   2. Add Nutella and beat together until thoroughly combined.

   3. Slowly add powdered sugar, mixing until combined.

   4. Add 1 tablespoon of milk.

   5. Put additional milk or powdered sugar as needed to reach desired consistency.

Cupcake assembly:

   Make sure your cupcakes have cooled before icing them or else,

   the icing would just probably melt.

   You may just spread the icing on top of the cupcake using a rubber spatula,

   or use a piping bag and an icing tip of your choice for a more attractive outcome.

   You also have the option to put sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or whatever
   you wish. This recipe makes 12 to 13 regular-sized cupcakes.

Quite simple, right? For sure, all the ingredients are available

at your local supermarket. Go ahead and give it a try!
