Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts gently.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Press a Giotto chocolate hazelnut candy into the center of each cupcake, ensuring it's submerged but not touching the bottom.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
