Nutella Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Wanna a quick fix for chocolate craving, try this fast and simple chocolate cupcake which uses only 3 ingredients! Just mix Nutella, an egg and flour together, in short moments, a warm chocolatey cupcake is ready to be devoured :D The texture is not light and fluffy, it has a more brownie like texture which is slightly dense. It goes well with the simple light cream cheese frosting, so this little cupcake won't taste too dry.
