Let’s make it.
Make the batter
Beat butter and sugar until pale. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Fold in the flour mixture and 30 ml milk without overmixing.
Bake evenly
Divide between the cases, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18–22 minutes until springy and a skewer comes out clean.
Cool completely
Leave in the tin for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. Allow at least 40 minutes before frosting.
Flavour the frosting
Beat the frosting butter until light, add icing sugar in stages, then the frosting milk and 50 g caramelised biscuit spread. Beat until smooth.
Finish the cupcakes
Pipe or spoon frosting onto the cooled cakes. Drizzle with the remaining 20 g caramelised biscuit spread, gently loosened if necessary.
A helpful little detail
Use only a little drizzle so the topping stays balanced. Let the cupcakes cool fully before frosting.
Keeping it lovely
Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature briefly before serving.
Allergens
Wheat, milk and eggs. Check all flavour additions for nuts and soy. Always check your own ingredient labels.
