Is there anyone among us who doesn’t like Nutella? Someone who loves Nutella like me is always looking for recipes with this chocolate hazelnut spread. I think soft and chocolatey Nutella cupcakes with creamy and sweet frosting is the best idea.
What Do You Need to Make Nutella Cupcakes?
- Nutella chocolate and hazelnut spread: As the name implies, these cupcakes are filled with hazelnut Nutella spread. Of course, we are going to make Nutella frosting for cupcakes together.
- Flour: For this recipe, you need all-purpose flour.
- Baking powder: Baking powder causes cupcakes to rise. Using the right amount of baking powder in cakes and muffins is very important.
- Butter: Use unsalted butter for these cupcakes.
- Egg: In this recipe, only 2 eggs are used.
- Sugar: Use brown sugar for Biscoff muffins.
- Vanilla extract: Like all muffins and cakes that we bake, vanilla extract is essential.
- Milk: Milk or buttermilk is usually used to make cupcakes.
How to Make Cupcakes Like a Pro?
- Before starting, gather the ingredients and place them on the countertop.
- Measure the required ingredients accurately.
- Make sure that all your ingredients are at room temperature and fresh.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
