Dulce De Leche Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare cupcakes: preheat oven to 350°F Line 9 muffin cups with paper liners. Beat butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add eggs and milk, then beat on medium-high speed for two minutes. Add flour, baking soda and salt; beat for an additional minute. Stir in toffee bits. Spoon into prepared tins and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from tins while still slightly warm.
• Frosting: While cupcakes are baking, combine brown sugar, cream and butter in a heavy saucepan to prepare frosting. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling without stirring for one minute. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool for about 20 minutes. Beat in powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth; spread onto cooled cupcakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy on medium speed; add egg yolks 1 at a time, beating until all the yellow disappears. Add the vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture beginning and ending with the flour.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into cake batter.
• Fill standard paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to wire rack that has been placed over a baking sheet to cool.
• While cupcakes are still warm, stir together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and the coconut milk. Using a meat injector needle, inject each cupcake in several different spots with about 1/2 to 3/4-ounce of the mixture. Or, poke several holes in the top of each of the cupcakes with a 1/4-inch wooden skewer. Pour the milk mixture over each cupcake while they are still warm, filling each hole. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight before icing.
• For the Buttercream:
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. To make the dulce de leche, pour the sweetened condensed milk into a glass pie plate and cover with foil. Place in a larger roasting pan where pie plate can sit flat. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to a depth of about halfway up the pie plate. Place in oven and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Stir until smooth.
• Place egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl. Stir the sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a small, heavy saucepan. Whisk in the water first, then the dulce de leche and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk the dulce de leche mixture into the 2 egg yolks. Stir in the vanilla. Strain through a wire mesh strainer into a small bowl and set aside to cool completely.
• Beat the butter on high speed in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the cooled dulce de leche mixture. Beat in the 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
• Frost each cupcake with a generous amount of dulce de leche buttercream. Refrigerate any remaining buttercream for another use. Sprinkle each cupcake with toasted coconut.

Steps:

• In a large pot with boiling water, place a can of sweetened condensed milk sideways (not standing up) - make sure there are no dents on the can. Simmer on medium heat for 2:20 hours. When time is up, carefully remove the can and let it cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt; whisk until well combined and set aside.
• In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream brown sugar and butter on medium speed. Add eggs, one at the time, beating well between each addition. To this, add dulce de leche and buttermilk; process on low speed and slowly increase to medium-high for about 1 ½ minutes, stopping and cleaning the sides of the bowl.
• Add the dry ingredients to the dulce de leche mixture and process on low speed until just blended, about 45 seconds. Add oil and pure vanilla extract and process for 30 seconds; the batter should have a nice smooth texture.
• Insert cupcake liners in a muffin pan and using an ice cream scoop, fill up the cups with the batter about 2/3 full. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles before transferring to preheated oven; bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs. Let the cupcakes cool off in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add cream cheese and butter; process until mixed. Add 2 tablespoons dulce de leche and process until fairly well combined. Add half of the confectioners' sugar and on low speed, process until mixed then increase to medium-high. Repeat the same steps with the other half, cleaning the sides of the bowl. It's optional but if wanted, add a tiny pinch fleur de sel and if so, process.
• Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag with a large tip and squeeze out the mixture onto the cupcakes. Warm up 2 tablespoons dulce de leche in the microwave until just pourable and drizzle over the buttercream. If wanted, sprinkle on a few grains of fleur de sel and refrigerate for 1 hour. Makes 12 cupcakes.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Put liners in muffin cups.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
• Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and milk alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and mixing just until incorporated. Fold in cranberries.
• Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake until pale golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn cupcakes out onto a rack and cool 15 minutes. 3Meanwhile, beat cream cheese in a bowl with cleaned beaters until smooth, then add dulce de leche and a pinch of salt and beat until combined well. Stir in half of pecans.
• Spread frosting generously on cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with remaining pecans.

Steps:

• Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and spray with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, dulce de leche, and milk and beat until completely combined and smooth.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 additions, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
• Divide the batter between the prepared cupcake liners, filling each a little more than halfway.
• Bake the cupcakes for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the frosting: In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed to beat together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and green food coloring and whip until the frosting is smooth and evenly colored. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
• Frost each cupcake by holding the piping bag upright and piping a swirl of frosting about 1½ inches high. Place 2 candy eyes on top of each green swirl.
• Refrigerate the cupcakes until ready to serve.
• Enjoy!
