- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Filling
- 1 cup Nutella
Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined.
- Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 of the way full with the batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Filling
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a frosting piping tip or a knife to cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom.
- Fill each hole with Nutella using a small spoon or a piping bag. Give each cupcake a small tap on the counter to make sure the Nutella gets all the way into the hole.
Frosting
- Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk to the butter, and beat until smooth.
- Frost the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting, and sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
