Ingredients
  

For cupcakes

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large beaten egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • red food coloring

For filling

  • 4 tbsp salted caramel

For frosting

  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 360F. Pour flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder into a deep bowl.

  • Add coloring to the liquid ingredients and mix until there are no lumps left.
  • Add dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, stir until fully combined.
  • Place paper cups in a cupcake pan and fill each cup with batter to the top half an inch. Bake at 360F for 20 minutes.
  • To check the readiness of the cupcake, pierce it with a wooden skewer - it should remain dry.
  • Remove the finished cupcakes from the oven, let them cool, then cut off the tops and remove the middle to place the caramel inside.
  • It is most convenient to place the caramel inside the cupcake using a piping bag.
  • To make the cream, pour the whipping cream into a bowl, add the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla.

  • Transfer the cream to a piping bag fitted with a cream scoop.
  • Spread the cream on top of the cupcakes. Decorate additionally with candy sprinkles.
