Glance through the simple recipe below of how to make toffee cupcakes with butter frosting and you will know immediately how simple and hassle-free the whole game is.

First of all make sure you have all the ingredients. Just a warning though – ditch your diet for this afternoon feast!

You will need:

2 cups all-purpose flour – sifted twice

1 tsp baking powder – sifted with the flour

1/2 tsp baking soda – sifted with the flour

1/2 cup softened butter,

3/4 cup granulated sugar,

1/4 cup brown sugar,

3 eggs, beaten well

1 tbsp molasses,

2 tsp vanilla,

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup regular cream soda

3/4 cup toffee pieces.

Incidentally all these ingredients are easily available at any neighborhood grocery.

Below the step-wise cooking formula:

1. Grease and flour muffin baking tray (makes 12 muffins) set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl with the help of a mixer and run at medium speed for about 30 seconds.
4. Add the granulated sugar and the brown sugar beating thoroughly until very light, fluffy and creamy.
5. Take the eggs and mix until they are all blended well.
6. Mix in the vanilla and the molasses.
7. Add the flour mixture the buttermilk and cream soda to the butter mixture alternately. While mixing on low speed after each addition.
8. Mix in the toffee pieces

Fill muffin cups to about ¾ full.

Bake for 18 minutes or till the tops spring back when touched lightly.

Cool on wire rack for about 10 minutes before removing from the pans.

Your cup cakes are ready for icing when they are COMPLETELY cool.

A delicious Brown Butter Icing goes fantastic with this – Brown butter cream icing can be made by heating ¼ cup butter in a saucepan over low heat for about 6-8 minutes and then cooling it.  (You will know when to take off the heat – when it turns brown!)

Now take a mixing bowl and mix ¼ cup softened butter at medium speed for 30 seconds, add the cooled brown butter to the whipped butter and beat them together then add 2 cups powdered sugar, ½ tsp vanilla, dash of salt, 1/8 tsp nutmeg. Whip the mixture until it has the right consistency. Spread it immediately on the cupcakes.
