How to Make Nutella Cupcakes

Use the paddle attachment

Add all dry ingredients (including sugar) to the mixer and mix to combine

Now turn the mixer on low and add all of the wet ingredients and then turn mixer to medium speed until well combined

Perfect!

Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter into the cupcake tin

The half recipe made eight cupcakes. Now stick into the oven for 18-20 minutes. These only took 18 minutes to bake

Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

Here are all of the buttercream ingredients

Use the paddle/scraper attachment

Cream butter

Now add all of the powdered sugar

Now add Nutella and vanilla

Mix until well combined

Turn mixer on low and add one tablespoon of milk at a time until whipped, lighter in color, and your preference for buttercream consistency

Great! Now fill a piping bag with the buttercream and your choice of decorating tip

I'm using a medium sized circular tip

You can stop here or add a bit of Nutella drizzled on top!

Soften Nutella in the microwave for about 10 seconds and then put the Nutella into a piping bag with a number one or two decorating tip

Drizzle!

Enjoy!
