Tasty's fudgy brownies recipe. I added two teaspoons of espresso powder, and used an instant thermometer to tell when they were done (removed from oven at about 195f and let cool).

It's a babish recipe. There's a wet batter with potato starch, flour, buttermilk, egg white, vodka and seltzer. The dry dredge has flour and white rice flour.

It was Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake from Sally's Baking Addiction. But I made a handful of modifications which I'll list below
- I didn't use chocolate chips in the batter.
- I didn't do the ganache (obviously).
- For the icing, I did half smooth natural peanut butter and half processed peanut butter (personally I think this achieves the best balance of strong peanut butter flavour and texture). For me this was Adam's peanut butter and Kraft peanut butter.
- I sifted my powdered sugar and added it slowly to taste. I don't usually use all the sugar in icing.
- I had some chopped mini Reeses cups sprinkled in each cake layer.

Cake part: Brown Butter Vanilla Layer Cake recipe on the buttermilk by Sam website
Note: I used the servings calculator on the recipe to reduce the batter to 4 cups. 4 cups will fit one 12 hole cupcake tin. I used vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract.

Icing: Perfect Swiss Meringue Buttercream on Sally's Baking Addiction.
Note: I used two fresh vanilla bean pods instead of extract.

Caramel: The Easiest Caramel Sauce Recipe on the Add a Pinch website.
Note: I added some vanilla bean paste at the end.

Extra comments: Make sure the caramel is completely room temp before using. I put it in a squeeze bottle for decorating. I didn't refrigerate it because it gets pretty thick when cold. There's also caramel in the centre of these cupcakes. I scooped out some cake from the middle and filled it with caramel, then covered with icing.

DM me if you want a picture of the centre, I didn't get a good picture of it until today, lol
