Banana and caramel work so well together to create this delicious cupcake!
These cupcakes are moist and topped with a rich caramel frosting. If you have extra caramel you can drizzle it on top!
I've always like banana anything. I like that they're mushy and sweet at the same time. I honestly love anything sweet so this is a perfect fruit for me.
The banana not only give natural sweetness, but also moisture, resulting to a light and fluffy cupcake.
When you cool your caramel for the frosting stir it every two minutes. You don't want it to solidify to much. If your caramel isn't flowing like lava, and it's a little crystalized.
That's okay! Just add it to your mixing bowl and beat it with the powdered sugar as instructed. Then add 3 - 31/2 tablespoons of whole milk to make it a frosting constancy. Keep adding more or less powdered sugar/water as needed.
