- Cocoa Powder
- Baking Powder

Make the Hazelnut Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk the softened butter and white sugar together until creamy. The add in the hazelnut extract, vegetable oil and milk. Whisk again until combined and smooth.
Pour in all the dry ingredients at once. The flour, baking powder, and salt. Switch to a rubber spatula to fold these ingredients together until a slightly thick batter is formed. Using a whisk as the batter gets thick makes it difficult to properly combine the ingredients. In a separate, smaller bowl, add the egg white and whisk until frothy. Pour this into the hazelnut butter and fold into the mixture. This whipped egg white helps the cupcakes rise. Now the hazelnut batter is done, set this aside.
Making the Chocolate Batter
In another bowl, pour all the dry ingredients for the chocolate batter all at once. The flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until everything is combined.
Then add the egg, buttermilk, warm water, vegetable oil and vanilla. Whisk the chocolate batter together, vigorously, smoothing out any lumps that may form. Now preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a cupcake pan with liners for the Ferrero Rocher cupcakes.
Bake the Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes
Use a 1 inch scooper to measure out an even amount of hazelnut batter and then chocolate batter, creating a marble like cupcake. Fill each liner about 3/4 way full. Bake in the oven for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Whip up the Hazelnut Frosting
While the Ferrero Rocher cupcakes are baking, make the hazelnut frosting. In a bowl add the softened butter, powdered sugar, salt and cocoa powder to a bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until smooth.
Add in the hazelnut extract and milk. Blend again until the frosting slightly thins out. It should be smooth and creamy, but thick enough to hold shape when piping. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star or flower tip. Prep the Ferrero Rocher chocolates by unwrapping and setting aside.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before frosting.
Toppings & Enjoy!
Pipe a large swirl of frosting on top of the finished cupcakes. Garnish by sifting some cocoa powder on top of the cupcakes or switch out with powdered sugar instead. Top with a deliciously sweet Ferrero Rocher chocolate to finish off this gourmet cupcake!
