Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1/2 cup Nutella (plus extra for frosting)
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and oil until smooth. Fold in the Nutella until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners (about two-thirds full) and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts if desired.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting with additional Nutella.
