I stumbled on this recipe a few weeks ago and thought it'd be the perfect thing to make for my brother's birthday. They're not difficult to make and they're pretty good but be forewarned: they are super sugary. I don't think I could eat more than one at a time.
Ingredients
Cupcake Batter
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup cream soda
Ganache
1 package butterscotch chips
1 cup heavy cream
Frosting
1/2 cup butter softened
1/3 cup butterscotch ganache
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 16-oz package powdered sugar
First, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Put this bowl aside for later.
In another bowl mix the butter until it's nice and fluffy. Add both sugars and beat until everything is well combined. Beat in your eggs and then mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternate mixing in the cream soda and a little bit of the dry mixture at a time.
Fill cupcake tins about 3/4 of the way full and pop them in the oven (at 350 degrees) for about 17 minutes, or until you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
While the cupcakes are baking, start the ganache. You will need a double broiler or two different sized pots. If you use two pots you will need to put water in the larger pot.
Melt the butterscotch chips and the heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth.
Take the ganache off the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Cut out the center of each cupcake once they've cooled.
Pour some of the ganache into the center of the cupcakes.
Combine the frosting ingredients. When I did this the frosting was really dry so I added a little bit of milk at a time until it was at a consistency I wanted.
Frost the cupcakes and drizzle some of the ganache on top. Then these cupcakes are all ready to eat!
