A chocolate cupcake topped with fluffy cream frosting, drizzled with caramel sauce, is crowned by a piece of Twix bar filled with biscuit. Another split in half rests beside the cupcake, while more Twix Bars cupcakes are artfully blurred in the background.

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 Cup flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅓ Cup cocoa
  • ½ Cup unsalted sweet cream butter softened
  • ¾ Cup granulated sugar
  • ½ Tablespoon pure vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Cup whole milk

For the Frosting:

  • ½ Cup unsalted sweet cream butter
  • 3 Cup powdered sugar
  • ½ Tablespoon caramel extract
  • 3 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Instructions

For the Cupcakes:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two 12-cup muffin pans (or bake in batches) with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes, until light and creamy.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 21–24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

For the Frosting:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, caramel extract, and heavy whipping cream until smooth and fluffy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream at a time until it reaches a pipeable consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, mix in ½ cup of powdered sugar until thickened.
  • Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
  • If desired, drizzle each cupcake with caramel sauce and top with a Twix candy before serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the Twix for your favorite candy bar.
