Ingredients:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 24 Ferrero Rocher chocolates for filling
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Crushed hazelnuts and additional Ferrero Rocher chocolates for garnish

Instructions:

Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in two muffin tins

Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl

Use a sieve to mix the ingredients together

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract

Mix everything together well

Add the hot water and stir until the batter is smooth

It's okay that the batter will be thin

Use about two thirds of the batter to fill up each cupcake liner

Put a Ferrero Rocher chocolate bar in the middle of each cupcake and press it down into the batter just a bit

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the muffin tins, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

Get the Nutella buttercream frosting ready while the cupcakes cool do

Put the softened butter in a large bowl and beat it until it's smooth

The heavy cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar should be added

Mix the frosting well until it's fluffy and smooth

When the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag and any tip you like to pipe the Nutella buttercream onto each one

Add more crushed hazelnuts and Ferrero Rocher chocolates as a garnish

Serve and have fun!
