How to Make Caramel Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the caramel syrup (see recipe below).
  10. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, drizzle the caramel syrup generously over the tops.
