Caramel Mud Cake Cupcakes

---

These are wonderful rich cupcakes with a delightful caramel flavour. I couldn't believe how easy they were to make and how well they turned out. These do not need any frosting or extra flavours, just a light dusting of icing sugar. (note that this recipe is from the women's weekly 'cupcakes' book so the cups are australian measuring cups)

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 170c and line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper liners.

---

Combine butter , milk chocolate , brown sugar , golden syrup or honey and milk in a small saucepan.

---

Stir over low heat until everything has melted and is smooth.

---

Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

---

Sift flours together and then whisk them into the cooled mixture , finally adding the egg.

---

Divide the mixture into the 12 muffin cases , they will be 3 / 4 full.

---

Bake for 30 minutes or until a light golden brown colour and check with a skewer.

---

Cool on wire rack and dust with icing sugar.

---

However you must be careful not to add them too soon as the mixture can be too warm and they will melt instead of keeping their shape.
