    Eggless butterscotch cupcakes recipe - easy to make, no-fail butterscotch cupcakes made without eggs.

    Eggless butterscotch cupcake recipe, How to make butterscotch cupcakes

    The whole procedure is divided into parts -
    -- Make soft, spongy, moist brown sugar cupcakes
    -- Then filled with sweet, creamy butterscotch sauce
    -- Frosted with vanilla buttercream frosting
    -- Again drizzled more butterscotch sauce on top.

    In short, the BEST, DELICIOUS eggless butterscotch cupcakes.

    Recently one of my readers have asked me to make the dessert with butterscotch flavor. So here I am with cupcake recipe.

    Since my childhood I always liked the butterscotch flavor and I still like. So I used to make butterscotch sauce at home for drizzling over brownies or ice cream. But never thought of making any dessert with this flavor. Thanks to the readers’ request, I try many things which I have never thought of.

    The butterscotch flavor is known for its sweet taste. So I do not want to make the cupcakes too sweet with this flavor. So I have just filled tiny amount in the cupcake center and then drizzled little amount on top.

    This gives the enough butterscotch flavor with perfect amount of sweetness.

    If you want more of this flavor, 1) you can add butterscotch chips in the cupcake batter. 2) also drizzle more sauce in criss-cross pattern instead of zig-zag lines.

    15) Take the butterscotch sauce and fill into plastic squeeze bottle. Alternately you can use ziplock bag or piping bag with very small round tip. Push the tip of the bottle into the top center of the cupcake and apply pressure to the bottle to fill the cupcake.

    16) Do the same for all the cupcakes. Do not push it too hard than you mash the cupcake. Do it gently.

      Hi,

      Can I use cake flour instead of all purpose flour and corn starch in this recipe?

        I have never tried myself.
        But as per my experience, you can use same amount of white regular sugar.
        The taste will be slightly different, but surly good.
