Nutella Cupcakes

Use any cake mix to make cupcakes. (I've tried yellow and chocolate and both were delicious.) You can either 1) drop a little scoop of nutella in each before baking or 2) wait until the cupcakes are baked and cut out a little piece and fill in the hole with nutella put the cut out piece back on top. Here is the frosting:

1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup creamy Nutella
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
toasted hazelnuts for garnish (optional)

Place the confectioners' sugar, Nutella, butter, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until creamy, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as you work. Add the cream and beat on high speed until the mixture is light and smooth.*I doubled the cupcake recipe and that made a perfect number for the amount of frosting. If you want 12 cupcakes, you will have extra icing - I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding another use for it like licking the beaters, dipping crackers, etc.
