Nutella Marshmallow Cupcakes

So I have become obsessed with Nutella lately. It's creamy, delicious, chocolaty, and makes one moist cupcake! I had a recipe for peanut butter cupcake, and used Nutella instead....AMAZING!! If you try this you have to let me know what you think. The marshmallow frosting was by far my favorite! Here is the recipe....
 Nutella Cupcake

Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter or margarine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups Nutella
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:
Beat the butter until creamy. Add sugar, vanilla extract and Nutella and mix until light. Add the eggs and beat well.

Mix the flour and baking soda. Gradually add to the creamy preparation until well mixed. Half-fill paper cake cups in muffin tins with the mix.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 375 degrees F. Remove from tin and let cool


Marshmallow Frosting

Ingredients:
4 sticks (1 pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
One 16-ounce tub marshmallow cream

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy.

Beat in one-fourth of the sugar until fluffy, then repeat with the remaining sugar.

Beat in the vanilla, then stir in the marshmallow cream until well blended.

  5. These cupcakes are DELICIOUS! Highly recommend making them. I'm going to try making as 1 big cake for my son's first birthday. Any tips? Only trick is to avoid eating all the batter before you've put it in the cupcake moulds!

  6. Thank you so much! These are by far my most popular recipe. If you are trying to make as a cake, you will need to adjust the time. The easiest way for me to do this, is look on the back of a store bought cake mix and see how long they say to time the cake in one of their pans and go from there. I hope that helps. Let me know how it works! Happy Birthday to your son!

  7. A simple fondant icing recipe for beginners is a marshmallow-based fondant. You will need a bag of mini marshmallows, 2 tablespoons of water and icing sugar.
