Nutella is my all-time fav spread. And it's so versatile. Can be used as a bread spread, frosting for cakes and even fillings for bread! And my fav way of eating it, straight from the container :P

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • approx. 1/3 cup Nutella
What to do
  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Line muffin tray with paper liners.
  • Cream together butter and sugar until light.
  • Add in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated.
  • Add in vanilla essence.

  • Fill each muffin liner with batter abt 3/4 full.
  • Top each cake with 1 1/2 tsp Nutella, swirl Nutella in with a fork.

  • Remove from muffin tray to cool completely.
  • Taste best the next day.

    Hi Qin,

    You have to sift the flour then weigh it. If the batter looks too dry, add some milk to it. Also the cupcakes need to sit overnite b4 u eat it. It does taste dry if eaten on the same day or straight from the oven.
