  • In another bowl, sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the butter and half of the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • With a mixer, mix on medium low for about 45 seconds. Add the rest of the milk mixture, and mix on medium low for another 20 seconds.
  • Divide the cupcake batter between the cupcake liners. Fill about 2/3 full.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a just a few crumbs.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before doing anything else.
  • Once cupcakes are cooled, scoop out the centers of the cupcakes. Do not go all the way through, you're only scooping out a small amount. Fill with Litehouse caramel and then places the piece you scooped out back on top pressing gently to keep in place.
