  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners

In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

Set aside

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract

Add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture

Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth and well combined

Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a cupcake corer or a knife to create a small hole in the center of each cupcake

Fill each hole with a teaspoon of salted caramel sauce

Prepare a batch of salted caramel buttercream frosting and pipe it onto the cupcakes using a piping bag and your desired tip

Top each cupcake with a handful of popped and cooled popcorn

Drizzle a little extra salted caramel sauce over the popcorn for added flavor and decoration

Serve and enjoy
