Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
• for topping Whipped cream
• for drizzling Caramel sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk for 30 seconds. Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the hot milk.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coffee-milk mixture. Mix until just combined.
7. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, use a small knife to cut a cone-shaped piece from the center of each cupcake. Fill the cavity with caramel sauce.
11. Frost the cupcakes with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
12. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top for an extra touch of salted caramel goodness.
13. Serve and enjoy!
