Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 14 to 15 muffin cups with cupcake liners and set pan aside.
- Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place the butter in another medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer set to medium until very smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Continue beating for 3 to 4 minutes, until very light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolks 1 at a time, then beat in the vanilla.
- Use a rubber spatula to mix in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just smooth.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup a little more than half full. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until creamy. (Or use an electric mixer and a large mixing bowl.) Add 3 cups of the powdered sugar and mix on low to combine.
- Add 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce, the vanilla, and salt, then turn mixer to medium and mix until smooth.
- If frosting is too thin, add additional powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add milk. Set frosting aside.
- Use a small paring knife to cut a hole about 1 inch wide and a scant 1 inch deep in each of the cupcakes. Reserve the cake you cut out of the holes.
- Pipe or spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of caramel sauce into each hole. Trim the cake you removed from the holes so it will fit over the caramel as a sort of plug, then replace the plug in the hole.
- Frost cupcakes as desired, then refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to set the frosting. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve.
GOLDEN CARAMEL CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin tins with gold foil cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, butter, milk, and eggs. Using a hand mixer beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl to be sure the batter is well incorporated. In a small bowl, mix together the 1/2 can of dulce de leche with 1 cup of cake batter and set aside.
- Using an ice-cream scoop, fill the muffin tins halfway to the top with the batter. Spoon a level tablespoon of the dulce de leche mixture into each cupcake liner, and with a butter knife swirl it into the batter. Bake until the tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Frosting: In a cold mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with a hand mixer until just before soft peaks form. Add the dulce de leche and beat until well incorporated and soft peaks form. Frost each cupcake with the caramel frosting, and sprinkle with gold dragees. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving tray and serve.
