Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line two muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, hazelnut meal, baking powder, and salt.
- In separate bowl, combine sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla, and whisk on medium-low until smooth. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until fully combined.
- Scoop the mixture into prepared cupcake liners and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until smooth.
- Add the Nutella and salt. Continue to beat until incorporated, for around 2 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of sifted icing sugar, beat on medium-low speed until most of the sugar is moistened.
- Gradually add the remaining sugar until the frosting is the desired texture, beating on medium-low speed until fully mixed.
- Add the thickened cream and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, for around 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pipe a generous swirl of frosting on top of the cooled cupcakes.
- Sprinkle roasted hazelnuts over each iced cupcake and then gently place a Ferrero Rocher on top. Enjoy!
