Caramel Almond Chocolate Cupcakes
I can’t believe Cupcake Week is half way over already! Did you know that yesterday was National Cupcake Day? Be sure to check out the debate over at i[heart]cuppycakes and enter in her cupcake giveaway too!
Today I bring you a cupcake that is amazing. Simply amazing. The filling in these guys is to die for. I was eating it with a spoon. It’s also awesome over ice cream. You really can’t go wrong with homemade dulce de leche, so it’s not surprising. However, homemade dulce de leche does take a while to make (3 hours simmering in a pot), so be prepared to put some time into these cupcakes. It’s well worth the effort. Hubby agreed these are one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever made
Next time I make these, I might leave the chocolate out of the caramel ganache. As you can see, it looks more chocolatey and I would have prefered to have it be caramel. It has a great caramel flavor, but I would have liked the color contrast of having a caramel sauce.
I followed the recipes from Fields of Cake exactly, so I’m not going to repost them here. Definitely go check out her post and amazing pictures!
Don’t forget to enter in my 2nd blogiversary giveaway by midnight on August 28th!
Check out my week of cupcakes here.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE brownies!!! Will definitely try out this recipe… soon.
(Just can’t let my husband know, who is a personal trainer, lol!)
These were seriously the best brownies ever! I can’t wait to re-use this recipe!
Those look outrageously delicious!!!
I love me a good brownie – but can you believe that I haven’t actually made homemade brownies. I really must change that!!
Who doesn’t love brownies?! I don’t know if I could wait a whole night and not devour these immediately out of the oven!
Yum! I love brownies! I’m thinking I actually might make some right now 🙂
You have way more willpower than I do. I rarely let brownies cool. I love when they’re warm and gooey… and yes, then throw some vanilla ice cream and hot fudge and whipped cream on top!
I was good, and I let my KAF brownies rest overnight though.
I added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.

HAHA, I totally cracked up at this post for two reasons: I love that you used the expression “Get outta town!” and that you posted the pic of our brownies that were, the best brownies ever. See? We just knew..
Great post, as always!
These look sinfully delicious 🙂
