The Story Behind These Nutella-Stuffed Cupcakes, Inspired by Sugar Spun Run š°
Let me take you back a little bit. Iāve always been a fan of cupcakesāthose sweet, tiny wonders that bring a smile to anyoneās face. But one day, while baking up a batch, I had this idea: What if I could add something extra inside?
The thought of Nutella, warm and gooey, surrounded by a fluffy cupcake just seemed like the ultimate treat.
A few tweaks to my usual recipe, a sprinkle of patience, and voilĆ ! Nutella-stuffed cupcakes became my new obsession.
And now, Iām sharing it with you! If youāve ever browsed Sugar Spun Run, you know how magical the recipes can beāand this one is no exception! š
Ingredients Youāll Need š
Before you get started, gather these ingredients for the base of the cupcakes and the Nutella filling:
For the Cupcakes:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour š¾
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup sugar š¬
- Pinch of salt š§
- 1/2 cup milk š„
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice š
- 2 tablespoons melted butter š§
- 1 egg š„
For the Nutella Stuffing:
- Nutella (yes, youāll need this lovely jar of chocolatey goodness! š)
Step-by-Step Instructions š
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Tray and Paper Cups š
Line your cupcake tray with cupcake liners. If youāre using butter paper, lightly grease them to prevent sticking. Spoon a little melted butter and grease each liner. Pop the tray in the fridge for a minute or two to set the butter.
This step will give your cupcakes a soft, buttery exteriorāthanks to Sugar Spun Runās inspiration! š
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients š„
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix everything well. The baking powder and soda will help your cupcakes rise and give them that perfect fluffy texture. āØ
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients š„
In another bowl, mix the milk, lemon juice, melted butter, and egg. Whisk everything together until smooth. The melted butter adds richness, while the lemon juice gives a subtle tartness that balances the sweetness. š„°
Step 4: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients Together š„£
Now, slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. You donāt want to overmixājust make sure everything is smooth and creamy! If the batter feels too thick, feel free to add a little more milk. š„
Step 5: Add the Nutella Filling š«
Spoon a little bit of the cupcake batter into each liner. Then, place a spoonful of Nutella in the center. Donāt be shyāthis is where the magic happens! Add another spoonful of batter on top, covering the Nutella completely. You should have two layers of batter with a gooey Nutella center. š¤©
Step 6: Freeze the Cupcakes Before Baking āļø
Hereās a secret: freeze the cupcakes for about 20 minutes before baking. The Nutella will stay in the center and create that gooey surprise when you bite into the cupcake! š«
Step 7: Bake the Cupcakes š„
Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). Once the cupcakes are frozen and ready, pop them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Youāll know theyāre done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out cleanāexcept for a little Nutella, of course! š
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy! š§
Take the cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, remove them from the tray and peel off the liners. When you cut them open, youāll be greeted by a beautiful, gooey center filled with melted Nutella. š
Tips for the Perfect Nutella-Stuffed Cupcakes š”
- Donāt overfill the liners: A little batter goes a long way! This ensures your cupcakes bake evenly. š½ļø
- Use room-temperature ingredients: This helps everything mix better and gives a smooth batter. š
- Try extra flavors: If you want to get fancy, add a little vanilla extract or cocoa powder for extra depth. š°
