Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup heavy cream
12 ounces (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Bring 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Wash sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Cook, undisturbed, until caramel is dark amber. Remove from heat, and slowly add cream, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let cool.
  • Beat butter with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Place whites and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  • Remove from heat, and attach bowl to a mixer. Whisk on medium speed for 5 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high, and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 6 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, and add beaten butter, cup at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in vanilla.
  • Switch to paddle attachment. With mixer on low speed, add caramel, and beat until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Once cupcakes are cool, frost tops with caramel buttercream. Frosted cupcakes will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days. Top with banana slices before serving.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter for the buttercream, as salted butter can make the frosting too salty.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before beating them together, as this will help the frosting to be smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until the sugar is fully incorporated.
  • Add the caramel sauce and vanilla extract to the buttercream and beat until well combined.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Use the buttercream immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When ready to use, bring the buttercream to room temperature and beat it until smooth and creamy.
