Ingredients
For the Yellow Cupcakes:
- 5 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons
- 1 egg large whole plus 1 yolk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream full-fat
- 2 tablespoons milk whole
For the Nutella Buttercream:
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar plus more if needed to reach a thicker consistency
- 2 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
- cocoa powder scant 1/2 cup
- 1/4 cup Nutella

Instructions
For the Yellow Cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350° (F). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners and spray them lightly with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or in the body of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; about 2 minutes. Add egg and then egg yolk, beat until combined. Beat in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed butter mixture alternately with sour cream and milk, beating well after each addition.
- Fill prepared cups three-fourths full.
- Bake 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for at least 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Spread with frosting once cooled.
For Nutella Buttercream:
- In the body of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar, then cocoa powder, and beat until combined (it make be craggily, that's ok). Add 2 tablespoons of the cream and beat until smooth. Beat in Nutella, and add additional powdered sugar (a 1/4 cup at a time) if the frosting looks too thin. Add additional cream if the frosting looks too thick, a tablespoons at a time. Spread evenly over cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
