I have an obsession with Nutella. It has invaded my cookies, my ice cream and  my cakes. If you do not share my love of Nutella then turn back now as this recipe was not meant for you. As for the others who share my endless love of this yummy chocolate hazelnut spread, your mouth will water as you look through these steps.

This instructable will show you how to do Nutella stuffed Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Nutella buttercream frosting (wow! that's a mouthful, litterally). 


note: this is my first instructable, I hope it works! *crosses fingers*

p.s: the little black specks are the vanilla seeds.

Step 1: The cupcakes

Yield: about 24 cupcakes

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise (or 1 tbsp vanilla paste)
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
5 large eggs
1¼ cups milk
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
about 24 tbs Nutella

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and line cupcake trays.
2. On parchment paper (or in a bowl) sift flour and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In your mixing bowl, cream butter and vanilla bean seeds.
4. Add sugar to the butter mixture. Mix in the eggs one at a time.
6. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and mixing just until incorporated, add the vanilla extract and mix well.
7. Divide the batter (using a 1/4 measuring cup) between the prepared paper liners.
8. Drop teaspoon sized dollops* of Nutella on top of the cupcakes. Do not push down. When the cake rises, it will close up on it's on. 
8. Bake 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

* I might have gone a bit crazy with the size of my dollops.. you only live once right? (death by nutella! bring it on!)

I don't like nutella, but even I feel compelled to try this! Great job!

thanks!! I'm sure you could try with another stuffing (similar in density).

I'm going to go with Nutella, I showed the photos to my Nutella-addicted boyfriend and he drooled a little bit.

OMG, this sounds so GOOD!

I just made a homemade nutella and it turned out FAB. I think I am going to try this recipe with my home made nutella. Thanks for the great idea!

YUMMO!
