Here's a recipe that can make it to your dessert table in no time, small in size but big on chocolate sweetness. I make this recipe for my kids often and it's ashame I had not shared it with you all. Frosted with "Nutella", need I say more?


Ingredients
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup toasted ground hazelnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
6 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nutella to frost

Set your oven to 350* F (I bake mine in an electric muffin/cupcake maker).
Line a mini cupcake pan with liners, set aside. In a large bowl sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a seperate bowl whisk your egg and sugar until light and creamy, slowly stream in the oil and continue to whisk until well combined. Gently fold in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the egg mixture in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour 1/2 of the batter into a seperate bowl and whisk in 1 tablespoon of cocoa just until combined. Spoon in the batter into your prepared cupcake pan starting and ending with the white mixture 2/3 full and bake for approximately 10 to 15 minutes or until toothpic inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert cupcakes onto a rack and cool completely. Frost cooled cupcakes with nuttela and eat at room temperature or cold.
