Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F, with rack on lower middle position. Lightly grease muffin tin (or use liners.) In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment (or use electric mixer,) cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 min. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth and combined.
  2. In another bowl, gently hand-whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use wooden spatula to gently stir in the flour mixture with the butter mixture, just until mixture is combined - don't over mix.
  3. Fill each prepared muffin tin a little less than two-thirds full. (Be sure to leave some space at the tops of muffin tin, as the cupcakes will expand quite a bit.) Add 1 heaping teaspoon of Nutella on top of each cupcake and use a toothpick dip into the batter and swirl.
  4. Bake 15-20 min, or just until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few tender crumbs attached (not fully clean.) Immediately sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles, if desired. Let cool on wire rack and serve.
