Im a chef and I used this recipe to make my mom a birthday present and I was dissapointed in these cupcakes. The 1/2 cup portion size was way to big so when the cupcakes baked they overflowed then deflated once they were cooled. The truffle did not turn out; the texture was stale and hard. The nutella frosting did not stand up once piped like picture showed. And you could not taste the hazelnut in the cupcake.

Very dry and flat. I used unsalted butter so I'm thinking it needed salt. Not good at all!

I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa and frozen Ferrer Rocher candies (no special reason for freezing, just what I had). I need more practice making pretty cupcakes, but I'll eat tasty and ugly ones any day!

Most of the hazelnut flavor in this cupcake comes from the Nutella® frosting. It is good, but I was disappointed that the cake itself did not have a stronger hazelnut presence. If you were to add more Frangelico liqueur the cake would be too sweet. I did place a small amount of batter in the tins before adding the candies. Next time I would simply fill the tins and push the candies into the batter. Thanks for sharing!
