Gg's All Together Chocolate Cupcake With Nutella Butter Cream (1)

An easy dump everything in a bowl and mix chocolate cupcake recipe paired with a luscious, sinful Nutella butter cream frosting simply spread on and decorated with mini chocolate chips and little heart sprinkles.


All Together Chocolate Cupcake (1) Recipe:

(yields 20-24 cupcakes)

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coffee powder/ granules
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons of Nutella
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners; set aside.
  2. Sift together cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl. Add coffee, sugar and salt. Stir to mix.
  3. Combine buttermilk, eggs, oil, warm water and vanilla in a bowl or measuring cup, stir to combine.
  4. Add wet mixture to dry mixture. Using handheld electric mixer on the lowest setting, mix until smooth, 1 - 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl to assure batter is well mixed. You should get quite a liquid mixture.
  5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full (transfer batter into a measuring cup with spout to make this easier). Bake until tops spring back when touched, about 20 minutes. Do not open oven door while cupcakes are cooking. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

  2. Add icing sugar and beat until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add pure vanilla extract and Nutella, and beat on low then medium-high speed until light and airy.  About 2 minutes. For a stiffer frosting, add more icing sugar.
