    The taste is awesome, however; I followed the recipe but the cupcakes did not rise, they sunk in the middle. My baking powder & baking soda were brand new, so it wasn't that. The recipe did make more than 24 cupcakes for me, so I tried some without the filling. those sunk the worst. So, I filled them with ganache (with Frangelico and toasted hazelnuts and called it good. They didn't look the best, but they tasted delish!

    The cake recipe is DELICIOUS. I would not change a thing. It is a beautiful color, with a subtle hazelnut flavor - love it. The filling, on the other hand, needs some tweaking. I found that the "balls" are a bit dry, just a strange consistency. I WILL make again though as the cake is very good. I recommend halfing the amount of hazelnuts and doubling the nutella. The ganache is perfect :-

    I made these cupcakes and they r awesome! They have a slight liquor taste bt its not overwhelming. I actually enjoy it. They are extremely rich chocolatey and the hazelnut taste is pleasant! It was simple to make them and the ganache is pretty and yummy .I enjoyed the filling bt in thinking about substituting it with cream cheese next time to offset the chocolate.

    These were wonderful. Although the recipe seems fussy it is really not that challenging. So good. I garnished them with a whole candied hazelnut on each. THIS is a keeper!

    This is DELICOUS!!!!!!!!!!! This is now one of my favorite recipes. The cake is a nice texture and the ganache is perfect. The only thing I changed is I got hazelnut oil and some water(cause the oil is very powerfuland it still turned out great!!!!
