Chocolate and Caramel Marble Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons caramel sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Gradually beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract, until all ingredients are well combined.
5. Divide the batter in half in separate bowls. In one bowl, stir in the cocoa powder until fully combined. In the other bowl, stir in the caramel sauce until fully combined.
6. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, alternately fill each cupcake liner with the chocolate and caramel batter. Using a toothpick or skewer, lightly swirl the batter to create a marble effect.
7. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

Verdict:

These Chocolate and Caramel Marble Cupcakes are the perfect combination of rich chocolate and sweet caramel flavors. The marbled effect makes each cupcake visually appealing and impressive. Serve them at a party or enjoy as a dessert with a cup of coffee or glass of milk.
