Nutella Cupcakes:

  • My moist chocolate cupakes

  • chopped hazelnuts

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. In a regular cupcake baking sheet, fill each lined cup 1/2 with batter. In each put a little less than 1 tbsp of nutella into the middle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove and let cool.

2. Top with the cream cheese frosting and drizzle a generous amount of nutella on top plus chopped hazelnuts.
