Searching on the internet last night for something to bake today, my mom and I came across this recipe:
http://www.cookingclassy.com/2013/02/chocolate-cupcakes-with-salted-caramel-frosting/
After spending the better part of an afternoon making these delicious chocolate and salted caramel cupcakes, I have to recommend you follow this link. The recipe details how to make the chocolate cupcakes and frosting all from scratch, and the results are great! The cupcakes turned out really rich and chocolatey, and the frosting is delicious.
The frosting doesn't have as much caramel taste as you would think based on how much caramel sauce you're supposed to put in, but that's why the recipe calls for more caramel sauce on top! Now, you the recipe says you have to make the caramel sauce from scratch as well. You really don't. We used caramel sauce from a jar, and it worked out perfectly!
In short, making these cupcakes was fun and relatively easy--it would require too much equipment for me to do myself at school, but if you have access to a stand mixer, electric hand mixer and a couple of muffin tins, these are delicious and different. Just have a look at our results:
I'd give these cupcakes an A for taste, and a 3 out of 5 for difficulty (just due to how many little things go into decorating the cupcake). And, if you should decide to go make them, happy baking to all of you!
Sincerely,
Sarah :)
