- Using a cookie scoop, scoop your batter into your Cases and Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through! Leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Once the cakes are cool, make the frosting – Add the Caramac to a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave on short bursts until melted and smooth – Leave to the side!
- Beat the softened Butter until smooth – this can take a couple of minutes. Add in the Icing Sugar 1/3 at a time, making sure the sugar is fully incorporated until moving on! I use my KitchenAid for Frostings as the machine can make it so much lighter and fluffier!
- Once all of the Sugar is in the Frosting mix, add the melted caramac to the mixture and beat again till smooth – keep on beating the Frosting add add the Milk/Cream 1 tbsp at a time till you reach your desired consistency! I usually use about 2-3 spoonfuls!
- Decorate your cupcakes how you like (I use lots and lots of sprinkles!) – and ENJOY!
Tips and Ideas
- These Cupcakes are delicious how they are in my opinion without adding Caramac to the sponge – I used the Light Brown Sugar to give it the slightly caramelly taste, but you can add it in the sponge if you wish (It just might sink to the bottom)
- These Cupcakes will last in an airtight container for 2-3 days!
