Spoilers!

So today I am going to make Almond joy cupcakes. I thought I would tell you so that you could maybe find a way to check today or tomorrow for them. I hope you like it!

Intro + Butterscotch cupcakes + buttercream

Hey guys! Well, probably girls. Anyway, this is my cupcake blog because I am obsessed with cupcakes. Before we get to that though, I should probably tell you who I am. I am a 13 year old cupcake lover, as you can tell, that needs a way to save her recipes. (plus I get to share them with you, and you can tell me what you think!) So, now that I've introduced myself, I can tell you about my amazing butterscotch cupcake. Better yet, why don't I give you the recipe? Here you go:

Butterscotch Cupcakes
Makes 12

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• 8 tablespoons butter, softened (1 stick)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 eggs 
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon butterscotch extract (this is optional, but I recommend it to give the cupcakes that extra wow factor)
• 12 butterscotch discs

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a standard muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, set aside.
2. Beat the butter and sugar in an electric mixer until thoroughly combined. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butterscotch extract until it has thickened slightly and is slightly yellow. Slowly mix in the flour mixture and milk, alternating until completely mixed.
3. Divide the cupcake batter evenly between liners. Set a butterscotch disk on each one, this will sink to the bottom and melt, creating a crust. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, or 15-20 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack until they are ready to frost.

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
frosts 12 cupcakes

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt



A finished cupcake!

• Food coloring (optional)

1. In a bowl combine butter, sugar and salt. Beat till blended.
   Add the milk and vanilla and beat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
   Add food coloring if you want it and enjoy!
