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.
