RECIPE: Nutella-filled Chocolate Hazelnut Cupcakes

Image
Hello again friends! Long time. Long time. I have broken my blog fast (not a thing) to bring you these wondrous cupcakes , sent down from actual heaven above. They literally floated down from the cloudless sky on a heart-shaped board, accompanied by a choir of singing cherubs . For reals.  Only joking.  The sky isn't cloudless. This is the British summer, people. But seriously, these are the Ryan Gosling of the cupcake world.   Dreamy.  Nutella on Nutella on Nutella. And here's how to make them. Ingredients (makes ~12): For the cupcakes: 100g plain flour  20g cocoa powder 140g caster sugar 1.5 tsp baking powder a pinch of salt 20g ground hazelnuts 40g butter (room temp.) 120ml milk 1 egg Nutella (enough for a dollop per cupcake - precise, I know.) For the frosting: 180g cream cheese (1 pack of Philadelphia) 100g Nutella* Chopped hazelnuts (to decorate) *It's up to you how Nutella-y you want the frosting, so just taste
