Can’t decide between sweet and salty? Here is the perfect
recipe for the sweet and salty lovers! This is a delicious almond cupcake with
salted caramel frosting, I usually make these cupcakes at any family get together
or special occasion. This recipe is pretty easy to recreate inexpensive and of
course it taste really good!
CUPCAKE INGREDIENTS:
·
1 (18.25 oz.) white cake mix
·
1 cup buttermilk
·
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
·
1 tsp. almond extract
·
1 tsp. vanilla
·
4 eggs
FROSTING INGREDIENTS:
·
1/4 cup sugar
·
2 Tbsp. water
·
1/4 cup heavy cream
·
1 tsp. vanilla
·
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) salted butter, softened
·
2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Cupcakes
Step
1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake cups in the cupcake trays with
paper liners.
Step
2: In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a mixing bowl mix
together the sugar ½ cup of margarine until blended well.
Step
3: Add in the eggs one at a time until thoroughly combined also stir in the
vanilla and almond extracts. Carefully beat in the flour mixture along with the
milk.
Step
4: You can use an ice cream scooper to spoon an even amount of batter in each
cup or you can use any spoon of your choice. Fill each cup into the prepared
cupcake cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
Step
5: Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes
Frosting
Step
1: To make caramel add the brown sugar, 1/2 cup margarine, corn syrup, and
vanilla into a large saucepam over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a
boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until it gets thick it should take about 3 to 4
minutes; remove from heat and allow to cool to warm (not hot) temperature.
Step
2: Add the cream, a little bit at a time until the caramel has the consistency
of honey. Mix in a pinch of salt, and allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 3: Mix the salted butter with the sugar
in a bowl with an electric mixer (or any
mixer you have) on medium speed until the mixture is fluffy; slowly add and
beat in the caramel, a tablespoon at a time, beating until the frosting is
smooth.
When all the steps are complete, you can decorate and add to the
frosting. A suggestion you can do is to drizzle the caramel on top of the
frosting and also add a pinch of sea salt on top or almonds. Enjoy!

Erykah, your instructions were really easy to follow and I love how you divided the instructions into parts, a section on how to make the frosting and a section on how to make the cupcakes itself. It made it easier to understand because all of the steps weren't combined into one paragraph. The visuals also made it easier to visualize what the cupcakes should look like. Great piece, I can't wait to try this!!!

I really love have you incorporated the aspect of sweet and salty into one! I think this a great idea/recipe because the almond and the salted caramel do compliment each other. The instructions were clear and I'm actually surprised that it is s a pretty simple recipe! I really like the layout of the instructions and how you have a heading for the frosting and how to make the cupcakes! It makes it clear to the person following the recipe to know what exactly they are doing/making! Overall, great job and I love the visuals!

The directions were specific yet not so overwhelming that they were hard to understand. I think this a unique recipe cupcake recipe considering it includes something salty in it instead of cupcake usually being just a sweet dessert.

I definitely need to give this a try! After reading that title I was hooked on already, the good is that your instructions were simple and throughly explained so people will not be intimidated. Not to mention it looks delicious!
The directions were very to the point, simple, and very easy to follow! Which is good because I’m a terrible cook and personally need the directions to any recipe simplified as much a possible :-) But this looks super delicious I’m a sucker for cupcakes so I will definitely try this recipe.

Yum! this looks so delicious. You did great job writing this recipe. The directions weren't confusing, simple, and easy to follow. I can't wait to try it!
The title made my mouth start watering not to mention the picture of the steps and finished product. I'm not one who usually likes almond desserts or buttercream frosting, but now you having given me something else to crave when my sweet tooth demands sacrifice.

This recipe seems absolutely delicious. I tried a salted caramel cupcake from Suite 101 once and it was absolutely delicious. I'm a big fan of the combination of salty and sweet and this cupcake embodied that perfectly. I cannot wait to try this cupcake for myself! I hope it turns out as good as yours!

The recipe fits into the theme of Febuary so well and it would've definitely been useful for Valentines Day. But I'm a really big fan of desserts so I would love to try this anytime! I love how the recipe is really clear and easy to follow, even for an amateur baker like me. I'm also a big fan of how you separated the instructions for the cupcakes and the frosting because it makes it much more clear. Thank you for sharing this!

I really liked the simplicity of your instructions! Just about anyone can make these since your instructions are very simple and short! These cupcakes sound and look absolutely delicious! Hopefully your piece has encouraged people to try to make these cupcakes for themselves!
The title of this submission itself made my mouth water. Reading the instructions and looking at all the pictures made me wish I had this cupcake in my mouth right now. I like cake and I like caramel so putting the two together is absolutely genius. The instructions were also so simple, and I had no trouble understanding everything that you wrote. I honestly cannot wait to try making this at home! I'll have no problems making it with your thorough and well-written aid.
I have never heard of this, but now I might have to try it. It seems really delicious and quite easy. I have a big sweet tooth so mabye I might need to try it! Great job!

Very thorough and very informative. Although I am not as much of a baker the way you laid out the instructions they are very easy for anyone that might be a little rusty when it come to baking. Good touch by adding photos it helps visually follow along. This recipe is a little bit of heaven for those who love salty or sweet or BOTH!

Woah! Those cupcakes turned out great!! I am a big caramel fan- I love ANYTHING with caramel in it, so I may have to try this for myself! The steps were clear and to the point, so easy to follow!

I actually plan on making this! Sweet and salty is such a good combo and it reminds me of fries and a frosty from Wendys. Youre very thorough with your instructions and from what I read it seems easy and fun to make. I wonder where you got this from and Im saving it so I can make it sometime, good job!
