  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup hot coffee or hot water
  • 1 cup unsalted butter for frosting, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup Nutella for frosting
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder for frosting
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk for frosting
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for frosting

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until they combine. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk—mixing well.
  4. Combine: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then add hot coffee or water to create a smooth batter.
  5. Fill the tin: Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool down: Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
  7. Make Nutella buttercream: Beat the softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Add in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and Nutella; mix until fluffy. Add vanilla and heavy cream, whipping until smooth.
  8. Core and fill: Core the center of each cooled cupcake and fill with Nutella using a piping bag.
  9. Frost: Pipe Nutella buttercream on top using a star tip and garnish with chocolate bars.
  10. Serve and enjoy: These rich, chocolatey Nutella Bueno Cupcakes are ready to be devoured!
