Ingredients

Scale

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup milk, room temperature
  • 2 Kinder Bueno bars, chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Hazelnut Frosting

  • ½ cup hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners for easy removal.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy to create a perfect cupcake texture.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract to add warmth and aroma.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently to keep the batter light.
  6. Fold in Kinder Bueno pieces: Gently fold the chopped Kinder Bueno bars into the batter, distributing the hazelnut and wafer bits evenly.
  7. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the frosting: Whip together hazelnut spread, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy to create the creamy frosting.
  9. Frost and decorate: After the cupcakes cool completely, frost generously and garnish with additional Kinder Bueno pieces or chopped hazelnuts for extra texture and appeal.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter, eggs, and milk for a smoother batter.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid dense cupcakes.
  • Test cupcakes with a toothpick to avoid overbaking.
  • Allow cupcakes to fully cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • If frosting is too soft, chill briefly before decorating.
