FERRERO ROCHER CUPCAKES!

I will admit from the beginning, that you’re not going to like these if you don’t like Nutella. It’s really so simple, because Ferrero Rocher are quite Nutella Like… and it has Nutella Buttercream Frosting. I however adore these, because Nutty Frosting keeps it sweet, but not so sweet its sickly. It kind of gives it a savoury element in a way, but its still deeeelighftul.

These Ferrero Rocker Cupcakes are based quite highly on my Nutella Cupcakes, and to be honest don’t have much difference other than a hidden Ferrero Rocher, and a Ferrero Rocher on the top of the cupcake as well. However, I still thought I would bake them and post them onto this blog because its quite a highly requested recipe!


Now, I only ever tend to buy Ferrero Rocher when they’re on offer, otherwise they can be madly expensive. Some boxes are usually like £3.50 for 16 of them, but sometimes the bigger box if £6 and so on. However, when I see a ‘buy one get one free’ offer, I will buy quite a few boxes for future bakes! You can easily use other chocolates that you prefer, or knock off versions of Ferrero, or use less like stated in the recipe.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and prep your Cupcake cases. I used Iced Jems Baking Cups so just put them on a flat tray. 
2. Beat together your Butter and Sugar until light and fluffy, and then add in the Flour, Cocoa Powder, and Eggs. 
3. Beat again till smooth, then split evenly between the cases. I use an ice cream/cookie scoop to get them all equal.
