Nutella Strawberry Cupcakes

Nutella Strawberry Cupcakes - www.yummycrumble.comNutella Strawberry Cupcakes baked with a thick swirl of Nutella right in the batter.  Topped with sweet strawberry buttercream and a Nutella dipped Strawberry.  I’m falling in love!

Seriously guys.  Look at these cupcakes.  Someone needs to make Nutella dipped strawberries the universal symbol for love.  Are you with me?  If the strawberry dripping with melted Nutella doesn’t catch your eye, well then you’re a weirdo.  Now I’m definitely a dark chocolate fiend at heart.  I can chug a bowl of chocolate ganache if the challenge presents itself, but there is just something so comforting and indulgent about Nutella that get’s me going.  So to keep this post G-rated, lets talk about these Nutella Strawberry Cupcakes before I get carried away 🙂

This cupcake is my favorite strawberry cupcake ever.  I first made them almost a year ago topped with a light mascarpone frosting and basil sugar.  It was love at first sight and I’ve never strayed from this recipe.  It uses strawberry preserves and lots and lots of chopped strawberries to really make sure you never forget your’e eating a strawberry cupcake.  Now I love box mixes, but I always wonder why on earth anyone would make strawberry cupcakes from the box.  For the love of God throw some chopped strawberries in there!  It’s so worth the chopping.  For these Nutella Strawberry Cupcakes I added about a teaspoon of Nutella into each cupcake and swirled it in the batter because well, Nutella.
