I Hope You Like Hazelnut!

I love hazelnuts. Love love love 'em. Frangelico, too. And Nutella? Even better! Hence, these cupcakes. They are hazelnut-vanilla cake, filled with Nutella whipped cream, and topped with Frangelico cream cheese frosting. They're delicious, and believe it or not, they're pretty easy to make, too.

Just take your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe (from scratch or from a box), and add a teaspoon or two of hazelnut extract (I used Flavorganics organic hazelnut extract), then make the cupcakes as you usually do. The filling is 2 cups of heavy cream, whipped up, with a cup of Nutella added into the mix. And the frosting is just a basic cream cheese frosting recipe, with Frangelico added until your desired taste and consistency is reached. Wasn't that simple?
