1

First things first; preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C fan oven/ Gas mark 4. Line a 12 hole muffin tray with Cupcake Cases. Pop the margarine and sugar in a large bowl and cream together until light and fluffy.

2

Pop in the eggs and Vanilla Extract and mix until combined – if the mixture begins to curdle add a spoonful of flour.

3

Sieve the flour on top and fold into the mixture until fully combined. Divide the mixture evenly between the Cupcake Cases and place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and risen. Once baked remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tray for 10 minutes and then pop onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

4

Now to fill the cupcakes, once cooled; take a sharp knife and cut a circle out of the top of each cake at an angle about 1cm (½ inch) from the edge. Chop the middle off the circle of sponge to it is flat. Fill the hole with caramel and place the sponge top on the caramel.

5

Pop the buttercream into a large bowl and add 50g caramel whisk together to combine. Pop your buttercream into a piping bag fitted with an open star nozzle and pipe swirls of buttercream on top of your cupcakes. 

6

Drizzle over the remaining caramel, sprinkle over the caramel crunch sprinkles and top with a few pieces of popcorn!
