Notes
- Our Summer Cupcake Recipes are a staple during the summer. Check them out.
- I recommend storing these cupcakes in the fridge to preserve their flavor and freshness for up to five days, but you can also store them on the counter for the same length of time.
- If you do not have a can of dulce de leche, you can use a can of sweetened condensed milk instead. Simply cook the condensed milk in a small pot until it is dark and thick.
- If you only have unsalted butter, simply add 1 teaspoon of salt with the dry ingredients.
