- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla

- ½ cup milk
Filling:
- ½ cup Nutella

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- First, mix all the dry ingredients for the cupcake batter.

- Put a spoon of the batter into cupcake liners, add a teaspoon of Nutella and then cover with the batter.
- Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Whip the cream. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, decorate them with the whipped cream on top, so that they look like a snowdrift.
