Ingredients
Butter
10 tablespoons (softened)
White sugar
3/4 cup (none)
Large eggs
3 (at room temperature)
Vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon (none)
All-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups (sifted)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon (none)
Baking powder
2 teaspoons (none)
Nutella

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners.
2
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. It’s okay if the batter appears slightly curdled at this stage.
4
Stir in the vanilla essence until combined.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until no flour pockets remain and the batter is smooth.
7
Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill each prepared muffin liner about 3/4 full with batter.
8
Dollop 1 heaping teaspoon of Nutella on top of each cupcake. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the Nutella into the batter, making sure to incorporate some batter over the top.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10
Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
