There's a great little cupcake store in Burbank called Yummy Cupcakes, they have some of the most creative cupcake flavor combinations I've ever come across! Everything from a 7-Up cupcake to a Champagne and Grape cupcake! They are delicious!! Now I love salt, on just about everything! So imagine my excitement when I saw a chocolate, salty caramel cupcake on the menu!!! I enjoyed that cupcake more than I've ever enjoyed a cupcake in my life!! Now Yummy Cupcakes has a fully stacked menu, with daily flavors and monthly flavors, so that doesn't guarantee my wonderful salty cake love is always being made. My fiance and I were in Burbank and as we passed the shoppe I almost jumped out of my seat! I started begging him to turn around barely being able to wait to get that yummy saltiness into my mouth again! We walk into the shoppe only to find out they weren't going to be making it again for a couple of months!!! A bit disappointed we picked out a couple of new flavors and went on our way. When we got home, I figured that I should just take it upon my self to fulfill my craving and here we have, my version of a chocolate, salty caramel cupcake!!
You Will Need
1 box cake mix / chocolate / yellow / vanilla
1 jar of chocolate frosting
Caramel for drizzle
Sea Salt w/ grinder
- Follow the instructions on the cake mix box for 24 cupcakes
- Add some caramel to the blended batter
- Fill each about 2/3 full and drizzle with more caramel
- Bake as per the instructions on the box
- Empty frosting into a bowl and whip with a whisk until the frosting is smooth
- Add some sea salt to the frosting and continue to mix
- Remove cupcakes from the oven after the allotted cooking time and allow to cool for about 20 minutes
- Before frosting each cake I added a little bit of caramel into the center of the cakes by using a condiment bottle filled with caramel
- Ice each cake with the salty chocolate frosting
- Add a caramel drizzle to each cake and a few twists of sea salt to taste
- Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
