I have been experimenting with sticky date pudding recipes and trying a few different ways to put this delicious winter dessert into a cupcake. This recipe is super moist and the hint of aromatic spices complement the dates perfectly. They are delicious as a cupcake or could be spruced up a bit served warm with a heavy dose of butterscotch sauce and ice cream. Any way you choose to eat them, they are scrumptious!!!
Date mixture
Butterscotch Cream cheese frosting
Butterscotch sauce
1 cup brown sugar
about 100 g softened butter, cubed
about half a tin of sweetened condensed milk
dashings of cream!*Put brown sugar into a heavy based saucepan on low heat.* Drop in butter one cube at a time and stir until melted.*Pour in condensed milk, stirring continually.
* Add tablespoons of cream as desired. Keep checking flavour and stop when you are happy with it!!!
*Leave to cool while you make the frosting. You may need to re heat slightly to make it smoother.
Cream Cheese Frosting
125 g butter @ room temp
125 g cream cheese @ room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Approx 1 x 500g bag icing sugar
1/2 cup butterscotch sauce
* Place butter and cream cheese in electric mixer on med until well combined.
* Add vanilla
* Slowly pour 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce into mixture.
* Turn mixer on low and slowly add icing sugar. Add dashings of cream if it is too stiff. You may need more icing sugar if it is too runny.
*Decorate cupcakes as desired. You can use the remaining butterscotch sauce to drizzle over the finished cupcakes.
looks decadent!

Hello. Thanks for your comment. I am an Aussie too!!! I use plain flour. The bi carb soda and baking powder act as rising agents. HOpe you like the cupcakes. They are delicious!

Hello. Fantastic delicious-looking cupcakes. May I ask about the serving size? I want to bake around 50 cupcakes…so I want to know the exact amounts to need. Thanks xoxo
HI Sarah, thanks for your lovely comment. My batches of cupcakes make 18. You can stretch it to 20 if you make them a little smaller. So, I would make 2 1/2 or 3 batches. I’d love to see a photo of them if you are happy to share! Perhaps on Instagram? (@mamabears_kitchen). have fun baking! Anna xx
May I ask how many cupcakes that makes? I’m looking to bake around 50
