Notes
For a deeper nut flavor, lightly toast ground hazelnuts before adding them to the batter.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container. If in a warm climate, refrigerate to keep the frosting intact.
Freeze undecorated cupcakes for up to three months; frost them when ready to serve.
Don't skip the cooling step before frosting to ensure neat decoration.
