Don't they look delicious? They are. I sometimes call them muffins, because the frosting (the Nutella) is on the inside. These are therefore really easy cupcakes to ship, so they were appropriate to send to NYC for oldest sister's bday. They were originally found by middle sister, Meredith.
Recipe:
1.5 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
2 tsp baking powder
Nutella, approx. 1/3 cup
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease the muffin tin cups with some butter.
Cream together butter and sugar until light using hand held mixer, 2 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add vanilla. Stir in flour, salt and baking powder until batter is uniform and no flour remains.
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full. The batter will be thick. Top each cake with a dollop (a teaspoon or two) of Nutella. Swirl Nutella in with a toothpick.
Bake cupcakes for about 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes 12 cupcakes.
Not only easy to ship, but delicious!
