Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 0.75 cup Nutella

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy (approximately 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the 12 liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Warm the Nutella slightly (about 10 seconds in the microwave) to make it easier to swirl. Add a teaspoon of Nutella on top of each cupcake, then use a toothpick or skewer to swirl it into the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve as-is or with additional Nutella drizzled on top for extra indulgence!
