Chocolate Caramel Cupcakes Recipe

Name: Chocolate Caramel Cupcakes
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 77 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 20 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups flour; 1 cup cocoa powder; 0.75 teaspoon baking soda; 0.25 teaspoon salt; 0.5 cup butter; 1 cups sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 eggs; 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate; 1 cup milk; 0.5 cup butter; 1 cup brown suger; 0.75 cup milk; 3 cups powdered confectioners' sugar

These are chocolate cupcakes topped with a rich, homemade caramel frosting. The cake batter comes together with creamed butter and sugar, then eggs, cooled chocolate, and alternating additions of flour and milk. The caramel frosting starts on the stovetop, simmering brown sugar and butter, which then gets beaten with powdered sugar until it's light and pipeable. For the best texture, make sure the chocolate in the batter is cool before adding, and let the caramel cool to lukewarm before whisking in the powdered sugar.
