Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 12 Mini Snickers bars
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup (for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin; this is normal.
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
Place one mini Snickers bar into the center of each cupcake, pressing it down slightly so it is covered by the batter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the edge (not the center) comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the caramel buttercream, beat the softened butter in a bowl until creamy and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the caramel sauce and heavy cream, mixing until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
Pipe or spread the caramel buttercream onto the cooled cupcakes.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the frosted cupcakes for decoration.
Optionally, garnish with small pieces of Snickers or a sprinkle of crushed peanuts.
Serve and enjoy the Snickers Surprise cupcakes!
