How to Make Nutella Frosted Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes) using an electric mixer.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full using an ice cream scoop or spoon.
- Top each cupcake with 1 heaping teaspoon of Nutella.
- Swirl the Nutella into the batter using a toothpick, gently folding some batter over the Nutella.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- (Optional) Once cooled, frost with your favorite Nutella frosting recipe or a simple cream cheese frosting.
