i made these yesterday for the last day of school for my class (i'm in highschool), and the icing was amazing!!
just one thing about the cake itself though, it smelled/tasted very strongly of eggs, and it kind of overpowered any other flavour the cake had... so maybe for me i would put 1 less egg in? i dont know i'm not really a baker (i just love reading food blogs!) so i wouldn't know what that would do to the texture...
overall, they were delicious!! thanks so much for posting this!

Liz - Definitely! You might not be able to pipe the frosting out but you could totally use less milk.

Wow! These sound amazing! Do you think that it would be okay to put less milk in to make the frosting a little thicker?

How have I not heard about a nutella frosting before?

Hoping to make this for a couple of holiday parties I've been invited to!

I'm trying it this evening! I've come across some recipes with Nutella swirled in but the reviews are mixed on it being a drier cake. Hopefully this batter is strong enough to stand up to it but I won't know until I try! I'll let you know how it works out :)

Agh the internet ate my comment! These look awesome and I'm going to try them tomorrow. Do you think it would work to swirl some Nutella into the batter before baking or is this a thinner runny batter? Thanks! So looking forward to trying these :)

Lisa- Spreading plain nutella on cupcakes is definitely something I've done before! The frosting recipe here is for "Nutella Buttercream". Definitely not the healthiest option but delicious for a special occasion. Its lighter and airier than plain nutella and is easier to decorate. Plain nutella would get stuck in the decorating tip since its so thick and sticky.

I also just made cupcakes before reading ur recipe and after searching the cupboards to make icing and found nothing but Nutella. I used it outta the jar as an icing and my kids loved it. I compared the calories afterward and it's not too bad. I used about 1 tbs of Nutella for each cup cake. 100 calories 50 fat. Why do you add more sugar and butter to the Nutella? I spread it over my cupcakes just after they came out of the oven... I pictured melty nutella everywhere but to my surprise it stayed wherever I spread it. I figure if wanted to use a fancy tip to decorate with the Nutella that I could chill it a bit then use it. Did you find you couldn't decorate with it without butter and more sugar? Thanks

I just made cake mix cupcakes, but used your nutella frosting recipe...I added an extra 1/2 cup powdered sugar to make the frosting thicker, but it is really delicious anyways! Thanks for sharing.

Soooo pretty! And I love the fact that you reduced the sugar. Now if only more folks would do that. :)

Your frosting looks amazing!!! I worry about having Nutella in the house since it's good straight out of the jar.
