Sweet chocolate cupcakes with delicious nutella cream cheese frosting.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting - Chocolate cupcakes recipe with nutella cream cheese frosting are perfect for Mother's Day, Princess Party or Pink and Gold Party. These nutella cupcakes are the best! by ilonaspassion.com I @ilonaspassion

Chocolate is often seen at my home, I’m chocoholic and also my older son loves chocolate. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate cupcakes … anything…. That’s why you’ll probably find lots of chocolate recipes on the my blog.

These cupcakes were so easy to make. It is similar recipe like for the brownies but little adjustments were made. They were so delicious with sweet nutella cream cheese frosting. I added less sugar for the cupcakes. And in the end my cupcakes were not over-sweeten, just enough sugar + sweet nutella frosting. I realized that many American desserts are way too sweet. When I make any American recipe I always add less sugar than recipe calls for it.

My desserts are enough sweet but not over-sweeten. Therefore, if you’ll make my recipe and it’s not too sweet for you, just add it more the next time when you are baking. We’ve got to much sugar in our lives so why should I add more sugar than enough. These chocolate cupcakes are perfectly delicious and chocolaty.

I dressed my cupcakes into Pink Polka Dot Wrapper and they can be found in my—> Shop. Mother’s Day is coming up so I think these chocolate cupcakes will be perfect for this occasion. Your Mother will be amazed by the taste. They are great also for princess party or very popular pink and gold party. Either way these cupcakes and printable Pink Polka Dot Wrapper perfectly match together.

    I can just imagine licking all that frosting off first thing. Can you believe I’ve only ever purchased one jar of Nutella in my whole life? ? What’s wrong with this picture?! Maybe I’m afraid I’ll eat it too fast. Which I would. Haha
