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.

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