Who doesn't love Nutella! After trying this flavour at a baby shower, I could not wait to try these. Although what I had were plain vanilla muffins with Nutella filling, I tried to add to the chocolate flavour with these choco muffins - adapted from a beautiful recipe book gifted from a dear friend. Make these as mini cupcakes and they will soon become your favourite tea time treat
Ingredients (makes 6 medium)
50 gms butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 large egg
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
Nutella - for the icing (as much as you please)
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degees Celcius
2. Powder the sugar and beat with the butter till smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg till the mixture is light and fluffy.Add the vanilla essence.
3. With a spoon/spatula fold in all the powders - cocoa, flour and baking powder . Do not over mix.
4. Line muffin cups with paper liners and spoon the batter into the moulds till half - full. You can make mini cupcakes instead of medium ones (will make around 15 mini cupcakesand baking time will be less)
5. Bake on the center rack for 18-20 minutes or till a toothpick comes out clean.
6. When baked, remove from moulds and cool
7. You can scoop out a little bit of the muffin from the top and fill the empty space with Nutella and then spread more Nutella over the top- or just ice the top with Nutella if you do not want to make a filling of Nutella (but guaranteed that the filling ones taste better :)
8. Serve cold or at room temperature - personally I prefer the room temperature ones.
