Butterscotch Cream Cupcake Recipe
These Butterscotch Cream Cupcakes are sweet, delicious and incredibly moreish. It’s sweet and kind of savory, kind of like Salted Caramel would be, and you’ll just want more and more and more.
The secret to making these delicious Butterscotch Cream Cupcakes is to not over cook them, as we are wanting them to be as moist and fluffy as possible giving it that perfect melt in your mouth texture. I don’t know about everyone else but I prefer more butterscotch sauce as it really brings out the strong flavour and sweetness, you can always add more or less depending on your preference.
Butterscotch Sauce is quite difficult to find in your local supermarkets, as they’re often named Toffee Sauce. We recommend making your own butterscotch sauce as it will have more of that natural butterscotch flavour as well as the added benefit of having it fresh and perfect every time.
