Key Ingredients for Nutella Stuffed Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes

• 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 1/2 cup Nutella

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Then, slowly stir in the buttermilk.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Fill the liners: Spoon about a tablespoon of batter into each cupcake liner. Then add a dollop of Nutella and some diced strawberries on top. Finally, cover with another tablespoon of cupcake batter.
6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and serve: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

What to Serve Nutella Stuffed Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes With

These cupcakes are heavenly on their own, but if you’re looking to elevate the dessert experience, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a creamy contrast. Pair with a fresh fruit salad for a delightful finale. If you’re hosting a gathering, why not add an engaging drink, like strawberry lemonade or a rich hot chocolate, to round out the meal? The combination will impress your guests and leave them raving about your baking prowess!

Top Tips for Perfecting Nutella Stuffed Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes

To ensure your Nutella Stuffed Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes turn out perfectly, keep these tips in mind:

• Room temperature ingredients: Make sure your eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature to create a smooth batter.
• Don’t overmix: It’s okay if you have a few lumps in the batter; overmixing can lead to dense cupcakes.
• Check your oven: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cupcakes a couple of minutes before the recommended baking time.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Once you’ve created these sweet masterpieces, you may have leftovers (though that’s a rarity!). Store your Nutella Stuffed Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. To reheat, just pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, and they will taste almost as good as fresh!

Now that you’re equipped with everything you need to embark on your Nutella Stuffed Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes journey, it’s time to get baking! Your taste buds will thank you, and your loved ones will squeal with delight at these delightful creations. Happy baking!
