Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature

2 large eggs

½ cup whole milk

1 teaspoon baking powder

¾ cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk until just combined.

Fold in half of the caramel sauce gently.

5. Fill the muffin cups two-thirds full with batter and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Allow cooling completely before frosting with remaining caramel sauce.

Notes

For added texture, consider topping with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt. You can also experiment with different types of caramel, such as salted or spiced varieties.
