Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

You can line a cupcake tin with paper liners

Mix the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk

Put away

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and mix well

First add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture

Then add the buttermilk

Mix everything together

Mix in the rest of the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth

Warm up 1/2 cup of Nutella in a small bowl that can go in the microwave for 20 seconds, or until it gets a little softer

Add the hot water and stir until the mixture is smooth

Mix the Nutella mixture into the cupcake batter until it is well mixed in

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

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

For a few minutes, let the cupcakes cool in the pan

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely

Half a cup of Nutella and half a cup of softened butter should be mixed together well for the frosting

Swap adding the powdered sugar and milk in small amounts at a time until the frosting is smooth and creamy

Use a piping bag or a spatula to frost the cupcakes with the Nutella frosting once they are completely cool

You can add chocolate sprinkles or hazelnut pieces as a decoration if you want to

Have fun with your tasty Nutella cupcakes!
