For this cupcake, I tried the recipe from cupcake Jemma's recipe in youtube. The results are satisfying. Though a bit oily just right from the oven, but after it cools down, it's not oily.
The flavour comes out nicely. The texture is also perfect as it is soft and moist, yet not oily.
I also tried out another buttercream recipe for this cupcake. At first, I wanted to make a rose out of this buttercream, but this recipe failed to make those shape. It melted so quickly, so I decided to shape the flower directly on top of the cupcake.

and I feel that the results were not that bad, though not so neat. (FYI I'm still an amateur π)
Here are some pictures of LaRose's Nutella Cupcakes with homemade buttercream
I asked two friends to give ratings for my cupcake. One of them gave 7/10 and the other gave 8/10.
The tips of making a nice cupcake is to use butter rather than margarine, cos it will make it more oily.
Since it is very useful for decorating cakes, for the next posts, I will try out another buttercream recipe that doesn't melt quickly π
