perfect buttermilk caramel cupcakes

These perfect little buttermilk caramel cupcakes are the kind of thing that you can have a hankering for at 3pm and be eating by 4pm. It’s one of those quick, no fail recipes that I find myself coming back to over and over again because the cupcakes are just so deliciously accessible. Using ingredients most of us have in our cupboards or pantries this recipe will give you soft, perfect little golden cupcakes and an addictive caramel frosting in about an hour.
