Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Sea salt flakes for topping

½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

    Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until completely combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

          Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Add Caramel: Gently fold in ½ cup of caramel sauce into the batter, leaving some streaks visible for a marbled effect. If using nuts, fold them in at this stage as well.

              Fill Muffin Tin: Distribute the batter evenly into the lined muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

                Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Frosting: Once cooled, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over each cupcake and sprinkle with sea salt flakes to enhance the sweetness and add a bit of crunch.

                        - Presentation Tips: Arrange the finished cupcakes on a decorative platter. You can also add a small caramel drizzle decoration or a piece of chocolate on top for an extra touch of elegance. Enjoy your Caramel Bliss Cupcakes!
