Nutella buttercream swirled cupcakes 🧁 so light and fluffy you won’t even know your eating chocolate (words from my chocolate hating Violet)

Frosting recipe here:
3 sticks butter
5+ cups powdered sugar
1.5 c Nutella
1/3 cup heavy cream/whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
Soften butter in mixer, then add in the rest and whip an extra 5 min to whip air into it. Mix to your fav consistency adding in more cream or powdered sugar as needed.
Mixing anything into a basic buttercream is ALWAYS better than classic. Try swapping out the Nutella for these: creamy peanut butter, Biscoff/cookie butter, a couple scoops of lemon curd, berry jam, home made caramel (scroll for a recipe of that!! - it’s on a salted caramel hot cider post)
