The consistency is very similar to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.melskitchencafe.com\/vanilla-pudding-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer\">pudding cake<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-pink-background-color has-background\">I generally recommend that you test cupcake doneness by seeing if the cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched. These cupcakes don&#8217;t have a bounce to them so that test won&#8217;t work. Instead, insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake and it will come up dry when the cupcakes are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-caramel-icing\">Caramel Icing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the icing, you will need a saucepan, a skillet, and a candy thermometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong>The key to making perfect caramel is to cook it low and slow.<\/strong> If you try to speed up the process by raising the heat, you will very likely burn your caramel and you&#8217;ll have to start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by putting 2 cups of sugar, butter, and evaporated milk into the saucepan on medium heat. Give a periodic stir to make sure everything is combining nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Adding evaporated milk to a saucepan filled with butter and sugar\" class=\"wp-image-27122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-122x183.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-424x636.jpg 424w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-848x1272.jpg 848w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-212x318.jpg 212w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-428x642.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-856x1284.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-214x321.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-03.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Reduce the heat to low as soon as the sugar is melted. <strong>Do not let this mixture come to a boil!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Butter, sugar, and evaporated milk melting in a saucepan\" class=\"wp-image-27123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-122x183.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-424x636.jpg 424w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-848x1272.jpg 848w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-212x318.jpg 212w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-428x642.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-856x1284.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-214x321.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Caramel-Icing-04.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, while leaving the saucepan alone at low heat, put the remaining 1\/2 cup of sugar into a skillet on medium-low heat.

<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While yellow cake from a boxed mix could work when filled and topped with this caramel icing, <em>you may as well take the time to make these cupcakes from scratch if you&#8217;re going to spend the time to make the caramel icing<\/em>. They come together in a single bowl in under ten minutes.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1601293487831\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What&#8217;s so special about these cupcakes themselves?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The cupcake recipe that I use is a yellow cake made with sweetened condensed milk. The cupcakes are quite sweet; they&#8217;re a little crunchy on the outside (the cake itself almost tastes caramelized), and moist to the point of having almost no crumb at all.<br\/><br\/>The recipe would not be my pick for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/best-vanilla-cupcake-recipe\/\">classic vanilla cupcake<\/a> with a swirl of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupcakeproject.com\/vanilla-buttercream-frosting\/\">buttercream<\/a>, however it&#8217;s the perfect vessel for this amazing caramel.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1601293690099\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I store these cupcakes?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Store these cupcakes covered at room temperature for three to four days. I don&#8217;t recommend refrigerating them, as doing so will affect the consistency of the caramel.<\/p>
