Jessica at Food Mayhem made these amazing-looking caramel macchiato cupcakes and has the recipe!
She writes:
As an added touch, I wanted to make the coffee flavored cake stronger on the bottom, lighter on top, an effect that happens in espresso drinks as the frothy milk is mixed in. My way of doing that is to make the coffee cake batter and divide it in half, adding espresso powder to one half, and using the stronger half on the bottom, the lighter half on top. It is a little extra work but it’s subtle things like this that show extra care and love. (It’s not quite as visible as I had hoped for but you can taste a difference.) The cupcake is topped with fluffy meringue and drizzled with caramel, rounding out the flavors quite perfectly.
