Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated white sugar
½ cup butter (softened)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup whole milk
½ cup butter (softened)
3 cups powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup dulce de leche
2-4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In the large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring just until combined. Stir in the milk, do not over beat. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake papers and fill each hole 1/2 full of batter.
  • Bake at 350 for 20-22 minutes or until they spring back when lightly touched. Remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat the butter until fluffy, add the powdered sugar, salt and dulce de leche, beating until smooth. Add enough of the cream or milk to make a smooth consistency.
  • Frost the cupcakes generously and drizzle with additional dulce de leche if desired. (If you choose to warm the remaining dulce de leche and thin it with milk, you'll be able to drizzle it over the cupcakes.)

Provided by ctozzi

Number Of Ingredients 22

CUPCAKES:
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
DULCE DE LECHE:
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened, condensed milk
DULCE DE LECHE FROSTING:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pound powdered sugar
pinch salt
dulce de leche
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Steps:

  • CUPCAKES: Heat oven to 350°F. Line cupcake tin with grease-proof paper liners such as foil ones. It will be important to get good quality grease-proof liners so the milk doesn't soak through the papers. Cream butter and sugar in stand mixer until light and fluffy on medium speed, a few minutes. Add egg yolks one at a time. Add vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Alternately, add the dry mixture and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. In a small glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into cake batter. Fill paper-lined wells 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in tin for 10 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to cookie sheet. Stir together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and the coconut milk. Poke about 7 holes in the top of the cupcakes with a toothpick. Pour 1 tablespoon of the milk mixture over each cupcake while they are still warm. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight before frosting. DULCE DE LECHE FROSTING: Cream butter and shortening together until smooth and no lumps. Add in vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar a little at a time. Add the dulce de leche a little at a time until desired flavor achieved, then add cream as needed to make frosting smooth and the right consistency for piping. The dulce de leche will thin the frosting out a little so add that before the cream. DULCE DE LECHE: Take a can of sweetened condensed milk, remove the paper label, and boil it in water for 3 hours. You can use a slow-cooker. Make sure the can stays completely covered in water the whole time. After 3 hours, you will poke into it and it will ooze a golden delicious caramelized liquid. SERVE: Use a round tip to frost the cupcakes with the dulce de leche frosting. Drizzle the dulce de leche on top of the cupcakes.

1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup lightly toasted flaked coconut (Mounds or Angel Flake brand)
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (Eagle brand)
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy on medium speed; add egg yolks 1 at a time, beating until all the yellow disappears. Add the vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture beginning and ending with the flour.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into cake batter.
  • Fill standard paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to wire rack that has been placed over a baking sheet to cool.
  • While cupcakes are still warm, stir together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and the coconut milk. Using a meat injector needle, inject each cupcake in several different spots with about 1/2 to 3/4-ounce of the mixture. Or, poke several holes in the top of each of the cupcakes with a 1/4-inch wooden skewer. Pour the milk mixture over each cupcake while they are still warm, filling each hole. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight before icing.
  • For the Buttercream:
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. To make the dulce de leche, pour the sweetened condensed milk into a glass pie plate and cover with foil. Place in a larger roasting pan where pie plate can sit flat. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to a depth of about halfway up the pie plate. Place in oven and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Stir until smooth.
  • Place egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl. Stir the sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a small, heavy saucepan. Whisk in the water first, then the dulce de leche and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk the dulce de leche mixture into the 2 egg yolks. Stir in the vanilla. Strain through a wire mesh strainer into a small bowl and set aside to cool completely.
  • Beat the butter on high speed in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the cooled dulce de leche mixture. Beat in the 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
  • Frost each cupcake with a generous amount of dulce de leche buttercream. Refrigerate any remaining buttercream for another use. Sprinkle each cupcake with toasted coconut.

Provided by CLUBFOODY

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, ground
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup dulce de leche
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup dulce de leche, divided
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 small pinch fleur de sel

Steps:

  • In a large pot with boiling water, place a can of sweetened condensed milk sideways (not standing up) - make sure there are no dents on the can. Simmer on medium heat for 2:20 hours. When time is up, carefully remove the can and let it cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt; whisk until well combined and set aside.
  • In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream brown sugar and butter on medium speed. Add eggs, one at the time, beating well between each addition. To this, add dulce de leche and buttermilk; process on low speed and slowly increase to medium-high for about 1 ½ minutes, stopping and cleaning the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the dulce de leche mixture and process on low speed until just blended, about 45 seconds. Add oil and pure vanilla extract and process for 30 seconds; the batter should have a nice smooth texture.
  • Insert cupcake liners in a muffin pan and using an ice cream scoop, fill up the cups with the batter about 2/3 full. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles before transferring to preheated oven; bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs. Let the cupcakes cool off in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add cream cheese and butter; process until mixed. Add 2 tablespoons dulce de leche and process until fairly well combined. Add half of the confectioners' sugar and on low speed, process until mixed then increase to medium-high. Repeat the same steps with the other half, cleaning the sides of the bowl. It's optional but if wanted, add a tiny pinch fleur de sel and if so, process.
  • Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag with a large tip and squeeze out the mixture onto the cupcakes. Warm up 2 tablespoons dulce de leche in the microwave until just pourable and drizzle over the buttercream. If wanted, sprinkle on a few grains of fleur de sel and refrigerate for 1 hour. Makes 12 cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter mix more evenly and produce a smoother cupcake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cupcakes light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cupcakes are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These dulce de leche cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their moist and fluffy texture, rich dulce de leche filling, and creamy frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cupcakes a try.
