kim's Notes:

Fudgy, moist & delicious!!

A recipe this quick and delicious is DANGEROUS. Keep a jar of Nutella in the house and your only a few minutes away from these rich wonderful cupcakes.

After recently making these for a friend as a gift this week, I highly recommend the addition of the 4th ingred (hazelnuts). They add a wonderful dimension to these. Just be sure to lightly toast them up in a pan with a little sugar. Then sprinkle them onto frosting once cooled. Adds a wonderful crunchy flavor and texture.

PS .. Also FANTASTIC sprinkled with coarse sea salt!

 

Directions

1
Please Note: I have also used a mixture of cake flour & self rising flour ... and prefer that ... as they turn out larger, and less dense. The All-purpose flour will produce more of a brownie textured cupcake. So use whatever you prefer. It's ALL good: )
2
Heat oven to 350'
Line 9-10 cups of a mini muffin pan w/foil liners (or about 5 reg size).
3
Mix together 1/2 cup of the Nutella & egg & whisk until smooth. Add flour and whisk until well blended. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups & bake until toothpick comes out with wet gooey crumbs (about 11 minutes) DO NOT OVERBAKE.
4
Set out on rack & cool completely.
Warm remaining Nutella 15-20 sec's in micro till warm & fluid.
Dip tops of cupcakes into Nutella & sprinkle w/chopped toasted sweetened hazelnuts & coarse sea salt if desired.
Grab a spoon and eat remaining nutella ... ok scratch that part; } (But that's what I do: )

Sent this to my daughter ... she swears she will not cook anything, unless it is 3 ingreds., or less! She is also a chocoholic (like me, her momma! ha!), so this will probably become a 'staple' in her diet. haha! Thanks, Kimberleigh ... this sounds too easy to be true. ha!

These were awesome and so easy to make. I added a pinch of salt and about a 1/4 tsp of baking powder to make up for the self rising flour, and they turned out great. I also didnt warm the nutella i just spead it on as is like icing. Great recipe tho!!!

I know ... aren't they great!? I'm so glad you liked them Kelly.
Seems I've been making these about once a week lately. Everyone keeps requesting them.
Try them sprinkled with coarse sea salt and sweetened hazelnuts .... that really puts them over the top!

Oh wow a nutella wedding cake! That sounds awesome. I'm sure it can be done. But I'm afraid this would not be the recipe since this makes small dense rich cupcakes. So delicious but definitely more fudgy than cake-like. However I've seen a nutella cake recipe by Nigella Lawson, and I'm sure if you googled the cake & her name the recipe would come up. Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but it might help. However if it were me, I'd probably just take my favorite chocolate cake recipe and substitute or add nutella wherever chocolate is called for (in the cake, frosting and in-between the layers) and then add a good amt of toasted sweetened hazelnuts. Can't imagine going wrong with that, though it might not be light & fluffy since nutella itself is dense and rich. But that's kind of what makes it so wonderful. Good luck!
