Ingredients
- 1 cup of softened butter
- 1 cup of brunette sugar
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of chopped nuts
- 1 cup of caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup of milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cupcake tray lined with paper liners.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brunette sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sodium bicarbonate, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until everything is well combined.
- Add the Nuts: Fold in the chopped nuts gently until evenly distributed.
- Create the Surprise: Fill each cupcake liner with about one-third of the batter. Then, drop a teaspoon of caramel in the center of each cupcake and cover with more batter until reaching two-thirds full.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the cupcake tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Decore and Enjoy: Finally, drizzle additional caramel on top and sprinkle chopped nuts for a delightful finishing touch!
