Nutella Buttercream Cupcakes

30 October, 2017 by Tara 54 Comments

Vanilla and Chocolate Cupcakes topped with a Nutella Buttercream for my fifth blogiversary!

Nutella Buttercream Cupcakes

Today, Tara’s Multicultural Table turns five years old and I am celebrating with these Nutella Buttercream Cupcakes.

I love reviewing cookbooks and so far one of my favorites for 2017 is Bangkok by Leela Punyaratabandhu. The photography is just beautiful and all the recipes I tried are so full of flavor. You can find my review for the book here. I have been experimenting with making my own homemade chocolates and used the tiered square and candy bar molds to make these Strawberry Balsamic Chocolates for last Valentine’s Day. More recently, I used the Neko Kao Onigiri Set to create a cat-themed bento and bought a second set to give one of you!

Nutella Buttercream Cupcakes

To go along with the 5th blogiversary giveaway, I made cupcakes with one of my favorite flavors, Nutella. To keep the focus on the Nutella, I paired the buttercream simply with plain vanilla (and a few chocolate) cupcakes. For even more flavor, you can also use banana-based cupcakes as the base.

I made most of the cupcakes vanilla due to personal preference, but also mixed in a little cocoa powder into the last few scoopfuls of batter to make a few chocolate ones for the kids.

For the giveaway {CLOSED}:

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 12 Cupcakes

Ingredients

Cupcakes:

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour divided
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder optional

Nutella Buttercream:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

To make the cupcakes:

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F and line muffin tins with liners or lightly grease.

  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then the egg yolk. Mix in half the all-purpose flour and baking powder until just incorporated. Mix in the sour cream and water until just combined, then the remaining flour. Stir in the vanilla extract, then divide the batter among prepared muffin tins.
  3. If desired, slowly add cocoa powder to remaining mixture to create a chocolate batter.
  4. Bake the cupcakes in preheated oven until set and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-23 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes before removing the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

To make the Nutella buttercream:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the Nutella, powdered sugar, then vanilla extract and milk.

  2. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with desired tip and pipe onto cooled, room temperature cupcakes. If desired, top with sprinkles.

    I quite enjoy reading all your posts and saving your recipes. We are adventuresome eaters and enjoy all kinds of spices and seasonings.
    I’ve even made some of your recipes with great success for the family. I generally do them on the weekend when I have more time to concentrate on the recipe.
    We particularly enjoy Ethiopian dishes so any recipes utilizing those spices would be lovely.

    Vanilla cupcakes are my favorite too! I can just imagine the lovely cakey vanilla taste mixed with the nutella frosting. You have me all fired up to do some serious baking now! As for recipes featured on your blog for next year, I would love to see more Italian, Asian and Arabic (esp.) recipes. I love your variety tho, so it’s difficult to say! Have you ever done any African recipes? I can’t recall… (PS. Congrats on 5 years!)

    I love how you have an array of dishes from around the world already so, tough question. I would choose more lamb dishes though; growing up with the Mad Cow Disease scare meant eating lamb a lot which I actually didn’t mind.
