Comment préparer Toasted Almond Cupcakes With Caramel Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Toast 1 cup of whole almonds in a shallow pan over medium heat for 6-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Cool for 15 minutes.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of toasted almonds for garnish. Finely grind the remaining 1/2 cup of toasted almonds using a food processor.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and almond extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Gently fold in the ground almonds.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (about 30 minutes).
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the caramel frosting:
- In a 2-quart saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter over medium heat.
- Stir in 1 cup packed brown sugar.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Stir in 1/2 cup milk.
- Bring back to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm (about 30 minutes).
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Place the saucepan in a bowl of ice water and beat with a spoon until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. If too thick, add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes with 1 tablespoon of frosting each.
- Gently press the reserved toasted almonds into the frosting.
- Store loosely covered at room temperature.
