Yippee Colleen and Susanne! And thanks for all the details on how you adapted it. I agree, no frosting necessary!

This cake is delicious!!!! I used whole wheat flour, TJ’s grapeseed oil and TJ’s maple/agave syrup. I even cut the syrup amount down to 3/4 cup because I used TJ’s bittersweet chocolate and added 1 cup TJ’s chocolate chips to the batter. I didn’t even frost it and the family went nuts about it! (I might frost it for a special event.) Thanks again for a great recipe!

Mom made this and I ate it last night — outrageously delicious!! There is nothing “healthy” tasting about it
Thanks!

Ahhh… the magic of creating a caramel-filled cupcake…
I saw someone use an apple corer and plunge it in the center (not all the way through) and then fill it with the caramel. So simple.

Becky,
Yes, I mean instant for coffee powders – espresso or grain types have the best flavor.
How would you ‘fill it’ with caramel? I LOVE caramel but the caramel sauce I have from my mom is definitely not healthy. I’ll work on it, tho!

By coffee powder do you mean instant? If not, please explain.

Can I fill mine with caramel and still get away with it being ‘healthy’? Any good recipes for caramel?
