These moist, soft and fluffy cupcakes are the easiest frosted cupcakes you’ll ever make. For those who love chocolate icing on their cupcakes but haven’t perfected the art of piping frosting, this recipe is for you!

You’ll need:
• 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
• 1 ¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup full fat sour cream
• 1/3 cup Nutella

Makes 12 cupcakes

:: HELPFUL HINTS ::
* Measure your flour correctly. Adding too much flour will result to dry and crumbly texture of cupcakes when baked. Fluff the flour in the container before scooping it out. Lightly spoon the flour directly into the measuring cup until it mounds well above the top of the measuring cup. Using the back of the dinner knife (non-serrated side is facing the flour), sweep the knife over the top of the cup to remove the excess flour.

* For a fantastic swirl: Use a scooping motion and swirl the Nutella with the batter so that some of the batter comes up on top of the Nutella. (As shown in the video)

Happy baking!
