A Nutella chocolate cupcake is made by baking cocoa-flavoured cupcake batter and adding Nutella either to the batter or as a filling. For a filled version, let the cupcakes cool, remove a small core, pipe Nutella inside, and replace the top.
The easiest way to fill a Nutella chocolate cupcake is to add Nutella after baking. Once the cupcakes are cool, cut out a small centre, pipe in the spread, and cover the opening with the piece of cake you removed.
Nutella chocolate cupcakes can sink if the batter is overmixed, the raising agent is ineffective, or the oven door is opened too early. Mix just until combined, preheat the oven, and avoid disturbing the cupcakes before they have set.
Store Nutella chocolate cupcakes in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If they have a perishable frosting or filling, refrigerate them; let refrigerated cupcakes come closer to room temperature before serving for a softer texture.
Yes, Nutella chocolate cupcakes freeze well when cooled and wrapped airtight. Thaw them at room temperature while still wrapped to reduce condensation. For the best finish, freeze the cupcakes without frosting and decorate them after thawing.
Cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, and plain buttercream all pair well with a Nutella chocolate cupcake. Cream cheese frosting adds a slight tang that balances the sweet hazelnut spread; chopped toasted hazelnuts make a fitting topping.
Yes, you can mix Nutella into the batter for a richer chocolate-hazelnut flavour and a denser crumb. Fold it in without overworking the batter, and check that the centres are baked through before taking the cupcakes out.
Nutella chocolate cupcakes are often dry because they have been overbaked or too much flour was added. Measure flour without packing it down, check the cupcakes before the end of baking, and store cooled ones in an airtight container.
Yes, you can make Nutella chocolate cupcakes with a boxed chocolate cake mix. Prepare the mix as directed, then either swirl in Nutella or pipe it into the baked cupcakes; adding spread to the batter can make it denser.
Coffee, tea, or a glass of milk pairs well with a Nutella chocolate cupcake. Fresh berries can cut through its sweetness, and serving it without extra frosting keeps the dessert from feeling overly rich.

A Nutella chocolate cupcake is a small, individually portioned cake made with cocoa in the batter and Nutella in the filling or on top. It brings together the familiar American-style cupcake format and the sweet hazelnut-and-cocoa spread.
Its soft, moist crumb and creamy topping make it a dessert rather than an everyday breakfast; serve it with tea or coffee, or as a party treat. It is relatively high in carbohydrates and fat, with less protein and fibre, and provides 435 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter-feeling treat, choose a smaller portion and pair it with unsweetened tea or coffee.
