Nutella Cupcakes

Servings 24 Cupcakes

Ingredients

Cake:

  • Devil’s Food Cake Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 24 teaspoons Nutella 1 per cupcake

Nutella Buttercream:

  • ¾ cup Nutella
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 ½ -2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3-4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 24 muffins tins.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, oil, milk, water and vanilla.
  3. 3. Sift in cake mix and stir in sour cream.
  4. 4. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full and then place a teaspoon of Nutella on top of each one. Using a toothpick, swirl the Nutella into the batter.
  5. 5. Bake for 14-18 minutes or until the sides spring back. (The tops will stay gooey because of the Nutella.)
  6. 6. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and place directly into airtight containers so seal in moisture.
  7. 7. Buttercream: Beat the Nutella and butter for 5 minutes. Add vanilla, then alternate between adding powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. Taste the buttercream until you reach your desired sweetness. You may need to refrigerate the buttercream before piping it onto cooled cupcakes.
