Nutella Popcorn Cupcake Recipe

Nutella Popcorn Cupcake Recipe
Nutella Popcorn Cupcake Recipe
By Rachel Howard on 08/02/2016
A moist chocolate sponge filled with Nutella, toped with a drizzle of Nutella, Nutella frosting and Nutella coated popcorn....Nutella overdose!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Yield: 12

While away with work recently, I was faced with the hotel breakfast buffet. And in this particular buffet there were Nutella muffins. And yes..I indulged and remembered my love for Nutella. So when the Scranline featured a Nutella Popcorn cupcake on Instagram I knew I had to try them.

I have a favourite chocolate cake recipe so I did make some changes.

Recipe taken from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World.

Ingredients for the chocolate cake:
  • 245ml soya milk
  • 1tsp cider vinegar
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 75g rapeseed oil
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp chocolate extract (or more vanilla extract)
  • 140g plain flour
  • 35g cocoa powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C and add cupcake cases to a muffin tin.
  • Whisk the soya milk and cider vinegar together in a large bowl. Set aside to curdle.
  • Add the sugar, oil, vanilla extract and chocolate extract to the soya milk mixture and beat until foamy.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add half the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix. Add the remainder of the wet ingredients and beat until there are no large lumps.
  • Divide the mixture into the cupcake liners (I use an ice cream scoop to do this) filling three quarters of the way.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

Nutella-Cupcake-3

While the cakes are cooling, make the Nutella popcorn…

Ingredients for Nutella Popcorn:
  • 20g popcorn kernals (I didn’t have any so I used 2 small bags of Tesco sweet popcorn)
  • 30g butter
  • 25g light soft butter
  • 1 tbsp golden syrup
  • 25g milk chocolate
  • 30g Nutella
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 40g chopped hazelnuts

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 100C and line a baking tray with baking paper
  • Pop the popcorn if required
  • Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup – let this boil for 4-5 minutes
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chocolate, Nutella, salt, vanilla extract and chopped nuts
  • Pour this over the popcorn and stir to coat
  • Spread the popcorn onto the baking tray and bake for 20-30 minutes

Nutella-Cupcake-1

When the cupcakes have cooled, cut a small hole out of each and fill with a spoonful of Nutella. Then place the removed piece of cake back on top. This makes for a wonderful Nutella gooey centre.

While the popcorn is cooling down get started on your frosting –

Ingredients for Nutella Frosting:
  • 250g icing sugar
  • 80g butter
  • 30ml milk
  • a dash of chocolate extract (optional)
  • 4 tbsp Nutella

Method:

  • Beat the icing sugar and butter in a freestanding mixer
  • Reduce to a slow speed and add the milk and chocolate extract (if using)
  • Add the Nutella and beat on high speed for around 5 minutes

Nutella-Cupcake-2

Top your Nutella filled cupcakes with frosting, drizzle over some Nutella (using a piping bag) and top with Popcorn.

These are incredible. And to be honest, you don’t really need the addition of the popcorn – it just makes it look nicer! And if you do add popcorn, make sure you eat them soonish afterwards as otherwise the popcorn will go soggy!

Welcome to Sunday Baking! I started this blog at the start of 2013 and it's taken me on a wonderful journey. A lot has changed in the last few years and you will now see more refined sugar free recipes (although don't worry....if you have a sweet tooth I will still be featuring regular sweet stuff too!).
I no longer post every Sunday, but the recipes I do post are 100% worth trying - if you sign up below I will email you every time I add a new recipe!
Happy Baking!

Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookie dough!? I don’t know why I haven’t made these before! This recipe was adapted from Recipe Girl. I decided to make a vegan chocolate cupcake as I find them much more moist than most regular chocolate cakes. They are then filled with a cookie dough which remains gooey when…
