This is a recipe adapted from a lovely new baking book in my collection, Peggy Porschen’s Boutique Baking. Her cupcake boutique is always filled to the brim with pretty and intricately decorated cakes. It is definitely on my list of places to visit when London-bound. Since receiving the book for Christmas, I’ve had my eye on Peggy’s triple layer Creamy Caramel Cake, but in the end, I wondered if I’d be the only one left eating it. So, I decided to halve the cake mix to make 12 individual cupcakes instead. I added some My Secret Kitchen Vanilla Pudding Spices (cinnamon would work well, too) and used a toffee sauce, since that’s what I had, in place of dulce de leche. Peggy suggests making a sugar syrup to soak into the cakes once baked, but as these were small cupcakes with plenty of sweet frosting on top I didn’t think it was necessary.

Have heard a lot about the Peggy book although I don’t do fancy baking much these days. Bookmarked for the teens to bake – they like to take cupcakes into school. They become very popular and aren’t tempted to eat too many themselves.
Ren says
I don’t think I had baked anything since before Christmas! And sadly I felt much better for it. These was quite dainty. There are quite a lot of lovely recipes in the book and I just got a new one too, called Annie Bell’s Baking Bible which looks rather lovely!

These sound absolutely yummy, chocolate and toffee were made for each other:-) Thank you for entering this month’s Credit Crunch Munch!
Ren says
Thank you Camilla, yes really mine should be toffee and cocoa cupcakes but dulce de leche is the best thing to use which will make them caramel! There isn’t much difference. Looking forward to the round-up x
