Full Recipe Video link in detail in my Bio under CUPCAKES 🧁

INGREDIENTS
1 Cup | 125g All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon | 5g Baking powder (measure in gms)
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup | 125g Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
125g fine granulated Sugar/Caster sugar
125g | 2 Large Eggs, at room temp (measure without shells)
1 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
2 Tablespoon Milk , full fat (at room temp)

For stuffing, optional
Nutella
Chocolate chips

METHOD

🧁 Measure the butter, sugar, eggs, flour and baking powder in grams using a weighing scale to get perfect results.
Using same weight of flour, butter, sugar and eggs will give a perfect balanced taste and texture. While measuring egg weight without shells, Borrow egg white from another egg to make it 125g. Use large Eggs.
🧁 Beat the room temperature butter with fine sugar till it gets a pale white color on Low Speed. Scrape the sides.
🧁 Add the Room temperature Eggs one at a time mixing each egg well till just incorporated on Low Speed. Add vanilla essence.
🧁 Place a Sieve on top and add the All purpose flour, Baking powder and Salt. Sift the dry ingredients in two batches, folding gently alternating with a tablespoon of milk in between. Do not over mix.
🧁 Use an IceCream Scoop or a small ladle to pour into the liners. Half fill with batter, Spoon the Nutella in the centre and cover with more batter. Do not Overfill it. 3/4th or 2/3 is fine to get a proper shape.
🧁 Bake the Nutella cupcakes preheated for 16-18 Mins Or Till Golden.
🧁 I added chocolate chips to the rest of the batter to make chocolate chip cupcakes. Topped with more chips. Bake the Chocolate Chip Cupcakes for 20-22 Mins Or Till Golden on top
