Description

Indulge in these luscious Toffee Crunch Cupcakes, featuring a fluffy base topped with creamy caramel frosting and crunchy toffee bits. Perfect for any celebration or sweet craving!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (for topping)
  • ½ cup toffee bits (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until just mixed.
  6. Fold in toffee bits gently.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Allow cupcakes to cool slightly before drizzling with caramel sauce.
