When I bought the jar of Nutella last weekend I made a vow (yes I did) that part of the Nutella will be made into cupcakes. I’ve always planned to do that whenever I buy one but it never gets that far. Darn those nutella sandwiches and occasional spoon licking. Well, I finally made self-frosting nutella cupcakes and golly they were so beautiful and delicious.
This self-frosting nutella cupcakes recipe was adapted from Connie of Pinoycook which she got from Baking Bites.
INGREDIENTS:
10 tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup Nutella
Preheat the oven to 325°. Lined muffin pans with muffin/cupcake paper liners
Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar together
Do this until light and creamy. About 2 minutes or so.
Add one egg at a time.
Beat the mixture after each egg.
Add vanilla, then the flour, baking powder and salt. Continue to mix everything together until well incorporated.
The mixture would be sort of lumpy like it would be hard to pour. Don’t worry, that’s how it should be. As long as it’s not hard as rocks of course.
Use an ice cream scooper to fill up the cups with the batter. About 3/4 full.
Top each batter with 1/2 tsp of nutella.
Use a toothpick or a satay skewer to swirl the nutella in with the batter.
Make sure a little bit of the batter comes on top. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Serve cool or a slightly warm.
Now stop staring and go make your own

Those nutella cupcakes looked so delicious. For myself, I’ve always enjoyed nutella sandwiches. Been trying to avoid ‘em lately, though.

Stumbled upon your blog and this recipe bout a week ago. Since I had some friends over for a movie night today I gave it a shot. What a delight! Great recipe, greatly illustrated. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear that. Thanks for letting me know
Irene,
Those WM saved my pictures from getting completely scraped by an unethical foodblogger. Let me knwo how the Norwegian version turns out.
I thought these cupcakes would be more like muffins. I do not like cake because it is sooooo dry. I do like the fact that the cupcakes are not loaded down with sugar. They are sweet to the extent of European limits which is lots les than we put in our food. But unless you are a cake lover, it’s too dry for me.
SMASKENS….Ska baka dom på alla hjärtans dag.till min älskade livskamrat,dom säjer att vägen till mannens hjärta,går via magen…..Sant eller inte! SUPER GODA KAN JAG TRO,och jag äter gärna upp dom själv,kanske även kvinnans väg till hjärtat går via magen!!!!
I just made these. They’re a bit dense. Next time I’m going to add some milk. Love nutella in my cupcakes though!
My family and I loved these cupcakes thanks so much for the recipe!!
MMMM…these look so yummy! I can not wait to make some!
simply out of the world loved it thoroughly, will try them for sure…
Right now I´m trying your cupcakes.. they are in the oven… can´t wait for them. Thanks , for your recipe ¡¡

These looked great, gonna try them.
they look delicious!! but i’ve never baked before and id like to know….what temperature does the oven need to be? and how long do i need to pre-heat it for? thanks!
how many cupcakes does this recipe make?
12 cupcakes
mmmmmm, those came out gre
… great! cheers! Petra
Great site and really wonderful pictures, do you take them yourself. What camera do you use!!!
Thanks, Yes I do and I use Nikon d40.
I attempted these and they just kind of ended up like foamy mush :S any idea how i can prevent this from happening next attempt? lol
I don’t get it because the mix looked just like any other muffin batter but they just didn’t seem to cooperate with me after being baked :O
Hmmm, like muffin batter? Well that’s usually a little bit runny. Supposed to be lumpy. How big were the eggs?
It was quite a thick batter..Not a dropping consistency..Like it was described in the recipe..The eggs were medium..
I speculate that my oven is on the way out, the temperature isn’t working right..I just tried to bake a victoria sponge cake and it took twice as long as normal!
I’ll give it a go another time and leave them longer, or better yet replace my cooker.
Thanks for your response!
I just made these and everybody loved them. Delicious. Serve with ice cream and hot fudge.
Ooooh, that just sounded so devilishly good right there. Hmm, might have to try that next time. Thanks for the tip
I made this not so long ago. Its go well with a cup of ice green tea..
I’m not a sweets person but those cupcakes are so pretty!
Thanks Kate. They were good too
