These cupcakes combine the indulgent flavors of caramel brulée latte with the comforting texture of moist, fluffy cupcakes, topped with caramel frosting and a brulée sugar crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for desired consistency)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for brulée topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cupcake tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Prepare 1/2 cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the cooled coffee, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove cupcakes from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar. Mix in caramel sauce and milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  10. Pipe or spread the caramel frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
  11. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of the frosting. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown, or place cupcakes under the broiler for a similar effect.

Notes

Use cooled coffee to avoid affecting the batter texture. If using a broiler for the brulée topping, watch closely to prevent burning. Experiment with coffee strength for a bolder or milder flavor.
