Time 1h32m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18.25-ounce) box golden butter cake mix (recommended: Duncan Hines)
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2 (13.4-ounce) can dulce de leche
Gold dragees, for decorating
2 cups heavy cream, cold
1 1/2 (13.4-ounce) cans dulce de leche

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.

I've tried many different caramel cupcake recipes and this one is by far the best. The cupcakes are moist and fluffy, and the frosting is rich and decadent.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out perfectly. The frosting was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall they were a great recipe.

These cupcakes were a bit dry, but the frosting was delicious. I would try them again with a different recipe for the cupcakes.

These cupcakes were amazing! The caramel frosting was the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the cupcakes themselves were moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.
