Ingredients 

Cupcakes

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Caramel Filling

  • 1 cup caramel sauce

Caramel Frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  8. Frost the cupcakes and drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.
