Chocolate cupcakes filled with salted caramel topped with cream cheese salted caramel frosting and drizzled with a little caramel and a sprinkle of sea salt

I found a quick and easy chocolate cupcake recipe along with a salted caramel cream cheese frosting and decided to put them together.

Absolutely amazing! The chocolate cupcake tastes like a brownie and the frosting is devine!

Heres the recipes so you can give it a try!

Cupcakes
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 c. water
1/2 c. oil
1 tsp. vinegar

Mix all ingredients together well with a mixer or by hand with a wooden sppon. It should be brown, smooth and free of lumps.
 Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Frosting
1 c. butter - room temp
1 250g block cream cheese - room temp
1/2 c. salted caramel( homemade or store bought, if you cant find salted caramel add about 1 tsp of sea salt)
3-4 c. icing sugar

Cream butter and cream cheese. Pour in salted caramel. Beat until combined. Slowly add icing sugar and beat for a few minutes until really light and fluffy.

Heres what my batter looked like:

I used the same technique to take out the centers of the cupcakes.

Here is my finished product:

 

All in all I like this combination! The only issue I found was with the frosting, it was to soft to pipe and just kinda ran off the cupcakes but other than that they are great!

 

Enjoy! :)
