Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup Gold Medal™ self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter or regular butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups Nutella® hazelnut spread with cocoa (16 oz)
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
6 oz bittersweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter or regular butter
4 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size nonstick muffin cups. In small bowl, stir together flour and salt; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat 1/4 cup softened butter with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and the almond extract; beat until light and fluffy. Add hazelnut spread; beat until well blended, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Add half of the flour mixture; beat on low speed just until blended. Add milk; beat until blended. Gently stir in remaining flour until batter is smooth. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each half full.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, 3 tablespoons butter and the corn syrup on High 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Top cooled cupcakes with ganache topping. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.

These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend using more butter in the recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and hazelnut, but I thought these cupcakes were pretty good. The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the cupcakes themselves were moist and flavorful.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The frosting was too runny and the cupcakes were dry and crumbly. I won't be making these again.
