Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup sugar, 250g
  • 1 1/4 cup cake flour, 144 g
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 40g
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup black coffee, or hot water
  • 2.5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup Nutella, for stuffing cupcakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a 12 cup muffin tin with muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the 1 1/4 cup sugar, 1 ¼ cup cake flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt.
  • Mix on low speed or whisk lightly to combine.
  • With the mixer on low speed add in the 2 eggs one at a time until fully combined.
  • Slowly pour in the 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup warm coffee, and 2.5 tsp oil.
  • Mix on medium speed for 1 minute until combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop the batter ⅔ way full into the muffin tins. Bake for 18 minutes.
  • Cool the cupcakes in the pan for 10 minutes then remove them to cool on a wire rack completely.
  • Using a cupcake corer or pairing knife, cut out a small part of the center of each cupcake. Do not cut down to the bottom of the cupcake or the filling will come out.
  • Fill a piping bag or a zip top bag with nutella and pipe into the center.
  • Frost cupcakes with Nutella frosting.

Notes

Use Nutella frosting to pipe with a piping bag!
