OMG FREAKING INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what being on twitter will do for you lol. Mo, posted a picture of a cupcake she was eating and the FIRST thing I did was google a recipe lol.
ETA Ki was at my house when I made these and she went home with the recipe and made them the same night lol. Check out her entry lol.Cupcakes
- 1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup toffee pieces
Frosting
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
To prepare cupcakes: preheat oven to 350°F Line 9 muffin cups with paper liners. Beat butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add eggs and milk, then beat on medium-high speed for two minutes. Add flour, baking soda and salt; beat for an additional minute. Stir in toffee bits. Spoon into prepared tins and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from tins while still slightly warm.
Frosting: While cupcakes are baking, combine brown sugar, cream and butter in a heavy saucepan to prepare frosting. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling without stirring for one minute. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool for about 20 minutes. Beat in powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth; spread onto cooled cupcakes.
**I must say that I had to double the icing recipe. If you follow it as is, it will NOT be enough**
Toodles!
