Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Extra caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  6. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. In a cold mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
  11. Add the powdered sugar to the cream.
  12. Beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  13. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake to create a well.
  14. Fill each well with a generous amount of caramel sauce.
  15. Pipe or dollop the whipped cream onto the cupcakes.
  16. Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream for garnish.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your heavy cream and mixing bowl are cold before whipping.
  • Feel free to use homemade caramel sauce for a more personalized touch.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
