Okay, time to get serious. Fortunate for us, the present business is Salted Caramel Cupcakes! Trust me when I sat nobody can oppose these marvels…
Feathery dark colored sugar cupcakes loaded down with a rich pocket of salted caramel sauce (discretionary) at that point finished with custom made salted caramel icing. I utilized Fran's Salted Caramel Sauce, however any thick assortment will work. You can likewise avoid this progression in the event that you'd incline toward non-stuffed cupcakes. However, truly… who might need to skirt THIS ↓
Yet, I'm losing trace of what's most important. The initial phase in this formula is preparing the sweet and quite feathery dark colored sugar cupcakes. To make them you'll require: universally handy flour, heating powder, preparing soft drink, salt, cinnamon, entire milk, sharp cream, spread, granulated AND light dark colored sugar, eggs, and water.
- For the cupcakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (be sure NOT to pack your flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs plus one large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup boiling hot water (should be very hot, and poured into measuring cup right after boiled)
- 1/2 cup thick, creamy caramel sauce (see post for references), optional
- For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 and 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- Decoration:
- 1/4 cup liquid caramel sauce, for drizzling, optional (see post for references)
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 6 chewy caramel candies, cut in half (see post for references)
Instructions :
- For the cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 12-mold cupcake tin with paper liners and lightly spray the liners with non-stick spray, set aside. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, set aside. In a small bowl combine the milk and sour cream, mix well to combine and set aside. In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy; about 4 minutes (don't skimp on time here!). Beat in the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add in flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with sour cream/milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Finally stir in the hot water, beating just until combined.
