Tips:
- For the perfect cupcake, use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that you have the correct proportions of each ingredient, resulting in a light and fluffy cupcake.
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and will result in a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking can make the cupcakes dry and crumbly.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- For the best results, use a high-quality caramel sauce. This will make your cupcakes extra delicious.
- If you don't have caramel sauce on hand, you can substitute it with melted Rolo candies. Just be sure to melt the candies slowly and carefully so that they don't burn.
- Feel free to get creative with your decorations. You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even mini Rolo candies to decorate your cupcakes.
