The dry ingredients should be added in three parts, with sour cream and orange juice coming in between each time

Use about two thirds of the batter to fill up each cupcake liner
In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean
Take the cupcakes out of the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool completely
In a different bowl, beat the butter and Nutella together until they are well mixed
As you add the powdered sugar, beat it in slowly until it's smooth and creamy
To make it fluffy, add milk and vanilla extract and beat it in
Put the Nutella buttercream frosting on top of each cupcake after it has completely cooled
