Preparation

Step 1

CUPCAKES:

Combine all wet ingredients in a small bowl

In a medium bowl combine dry ingredients

Slowly stir wet ingredients into dry until combined

Add chocolate chips and stir until evenly dispersed

Place silicone holders with liners in crock and add about 1 - ½ cups water (don't let it come over the top of liners)

Pour the batter into each liner until about ¾ full

Cover, prop lid open and cook on high - anywhere from 4 - 6 hours (check them after 3)

Remove from crock and let cool completely

FROSTING:

In a stand mixer afixed with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and powdered sugar on low until well-blended. Add the Nutella and increase the speed to medium. Beat for two minutes.

Add the vanilla extract and salt and whip for an additional 30 seconds.

Add the whipping cream and beat for about one minute, until the frosting lightens slightly in both color and texture.
