TFC aka Toffee Fudge Caramel Cupcakes
Why I Love This Recipe
The sponge is meant to be like sticky toffee pudding, but I decided to take the raisins etc out, after a bad experience in my younger years of eating a sticky toffee pudding with disgusting raisins in and ending up being sick :(. So it was a big no no for the raisins from me! Haha. I then decided to add a piece of fudge into the centre of each, so that when in the oven it melted and went all sticky and yummy and then topped it with caramel buttercream frosting and topped with a little cute cube of fudge hehe :).
