Soft chocolate cupcakes filled with gooey Nutella and cookie butter, topped with creamy frosting and irresistible drizzles — a dreamy dessert mashup for every sweet tooth.
Filling:
¼ cup Nutella
¼ cup cookie butter
Cupcakes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
⅓ cup oil
½ cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1½–2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp Nutella
1–2 tbsp milk or cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
Freeze 12 dollops of Nutella and cookie butter mixture for 30–45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin pan with 12 liners.
Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk sugars, egg, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
Fill each liner with 1 tbsp batter, add frozen filling, and top with more batter.
Bake 16–18 minutes. Cool completely.
For frosting, beat butter until creamy. Add sugar, Nutella, vanilla, and milk. Beat until fluffy.
Frost cooled cupcakes. Drizzle with warmed Nutella and cookie butter. Garnish as desired.
For easier piping, chill frosting briefly. Store cupcakes at room temperature (1–2 days) or in the fridge (up to 5 days). Freeze unfrosted if needed.
