Cupcakes
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined.
Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 of the way full with the batter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Filling
Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a frosting piping tip or a knife to cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom.
Fill each hole with Nutella using a small spoon or a piping bag. Give each cupcake a small tap on the counter to make sure the Nutella gets all the way into the hole.
Frosting
Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk to the butter, and beat until smooth.
Frost the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting, and sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
