Pumpkin Caramel Latte Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients:

Cupcake:

  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp dark roast instant coffee
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, room temperature

Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Caramel topping:

  • Caramel candy

Directions:

Cupcakes:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line your cupcake pan with paper liners.

2. Whisk flour, instant coffee, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves together.

3. In another bowl, blend the pumpkin, sugar (both white and brown), and the vegetable oil until thoroughly mixed.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.

5. Add flour mixture, one half at a time, and mixing well after each addition.

6. Spoon the batter into the lined baking cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes.

8. Remove from the oven. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the cupcake pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting:

1. Melt the butter over medium heat.

2. Add the brown sugar bringing it to a boil while stirring.

3. Slowly pour in the milk, continuing to stir until it comes to a boil. Set aside to cool, then transfer to a mixing bowl.

4. Add spoonfuls of powdered sugar to the mixture a little at a time, mixing after each addition. If the frosting is too thin, add an additional tablespoon or two of powdered sugar at a time until it thickens.

5. Scoop the frosting into a pastry bag with a #13 size tip. Twist the open end of the pastry bag to push the frosting to the tip.

6. Starting at the outer edge of the cooled cupcake, pipe frosting in a circle reaching to the center of the cupcake. Drizzle melted caramel candy topping on the frosted cupcake and place a whole caramel candy in the center.
