A Caramel Brule Cupcake

I have been wanting to try this combination cupcake for a long time!!  It was really easy and all that ate them, loved them!!  YEA!!!  

Start out with any basic white cake recipe, either from scratch or mix, substituting Coffee-Mate Creme Brule liquid for the liquid in your recipe.

 

 When your cupcakes are cool,  cut a hole in the middle of the cupcake with a sharp paring knife, cutting at an angle. 

  

Remove the plug.

  

I filled the cupcakes with Nestle's La Lechera Dulce de Leche caramel.

  

Then replace the plug and squish down to even out the top

  

 I made my icing with half butter and half shortening, some vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and of course powdered sugar.  For the liquid, I used the Creme Brule coffee creamer again, heating it up until very warm, but not boiling.  I don't have exact measurements because I didn't measure!  Sorry!!  I just mix it until it's light and fluffy!! 

 

I added the icing swirl and drizzled with caramel ice cream topping.
