Topped with a silky Nutella buttercream and a piece of Kinder Bueno for decoration, these cupcakes are a dream for chocolate and hazelnut lovers. Perfect for special occasions, parties, or as a luxurious dessert, these cupcakes offer a deliciously moist sponge with a delightful nutty topping.
Ingredients:
For the Sponge:
- 175 g baking spread or unsalted butter, softened
- 175 g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 150 g self-raising flour
- 25 g cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking powder
For the Buttercream:
- 150 g unsalted butter, softened
- 300 g icing sugar
- 200 g Nutella
- 2-3 tbsp milk (as needed)
For the Decoration:
- 12 Kinder Bueno pieces
- Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Make the Sponge: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter (or baking spread) and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Bake the Cupcakes: Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each one about two-thirds of the way. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Nutella Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar, mixing until the texture becomes light and airy. Add the Nutella and continue to beat until fully combined. If the buttercream is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk, one spoonful at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Decorate the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, pipe or spread the Nutella buttercream generously on top of each cupcake. Decorate each cupcake with a piece of Kinder Bueno and, if desired, sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your Nutella Bueno Cupcakes are now ready to be served! Enjoy them as a sweet treat or share them at a party for guaranteed smiles.
