Recipe Summary Spam&Reg;-A-Licious Cupcakes With Salted Caramel Frosting

Once again, I accepted a challenge from another AR member. She asked me to make a dessert using SPAM® luncheon meat. It was a success!

Ingredients | Salted Caramel Truffles

4 ounces fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), grated

1 (15.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix

1 ⅓ cups water

1 cup mayonnaise

2 large eggs

½ cup butter

1 cup dark brown sugar

⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir grated luncheon meat in hot skillet until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to a paper towel-lined plate and cool completely.

Beat cake mix, water, mayonnaise, and eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until just moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold 2/3 of the fried luncheon meat into cake batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans set on wire racks until completely cool.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and heavy cream; stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook sauce without stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir salt into sauce, and cool completely.

Transfer sauce to a large bowl and beat in confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time until frosting reaches desired consistency. Spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes and top with remaining fried luncheon meat.
