  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Optional: edible gold sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cupcake tin with themed cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and light brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  8. Decorate with edible gold sprinkles or drizzle caramel on top to add a magical finishing touch.

Notes

  • Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze cupcakes individually wrapped, making them perfect for ahead of time.
