Butterscotch Cupcakes with Butterscotch Frosting

I think butterscotch is a flavor that tends to get overlooked while its cousin caramel always steals the spotlight.  I enjoy both of them, but today I’m giving butterscotch a little love.  These Double Butterscotch Cupcakes have butterscotch pudding and chips in the batter, and are topped with butterscotch frosting. Now that’s some serious butterscotch flavor!

These butterscotch cupcakes are inspired by my super yummy pistachio cupcakes.  The pudding in the batter not only adds great flavor, but makes the cupcakes so moist and tender. One of the best cupcake bases ever!
