He used Snow and David's DNA to alter the first curse and ensure that their unborn child would be the one to break it. Emma's magic was the unexpected result of what Rumplestiltskin had done.

'' I sort of hope they don't make Zelena's baby have magic. ''

Considering that the unborn child's mother, aunt and grandmother are all powerful magic practitioners, it's only natural that it would be magical, as well. I don't know about Cora, but Zelena proved her ability to practice magic as an infant. And Rumplestiltskin was able to sense Regina's potential as a powerful magic practitioner before he had even taught her how to use magic. Emma doesn't have magic because or Rumple stuff. Emma was able to break the curse because of the TL insertion. He says so himself when Emma asks in season 2. Emma was born with magic and was going to be the Savior before Rumple even concocted the plan. Her magic deals nothing with Rumple.
