A couple days ago, after taking a walk through the salty air of the Old Port, I began to crave a salty yet sweet snack. It was then that I realized I had the perfect ingredients to create these amazing salted caramel morsel cupcakes ~ all for myself! Mmm, this is why I love living here...the inspiration I get is like no other!
So I just started with making my traditional chocolate cupcakes, and let them cool for a good while after baking. While they were cooling, I created a salted caramel sauce that would then be injected into each cupcake, allowing the chocolate cake to absorb all the moisture. This not only adds a surprise, complimentary flavor to the cupcakes, but it also creates a moist center like no other. Its phenomenal!
Then I whipped up my traditional chocolate buttercream frosting to pipe on top of each cupcake (a generous amount! Whats a cupcake without its frosting?), then topped each off with a drizzle of the leftover salted caramel sauce. Slowly after, the drizzle on top began to harden into a slightly chewy, sweet and salty garnish. Mmm mmm mmm! These were probably the most cherished cupcakes I've ever whipped up! I believe it is the touch of inspiration that led these cupcakes to be so delicious.
