How to cook deliciously - Bananas Foster Surprise Cupcakes

1. Stage

In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the bananas, buttermilk, lemon juice and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened.

2. Stage

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 375° until a toothpick inserted in cupcake comes out clean, 18-22 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

3. Stage

In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a very small tip. Fill with caramel filling. Push the tip through the top to fill each cupcake.

4. Stage

For frosting, in a large saucepan, combine brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Stir in baking soda; cook and stir until smooth. Stir in butter and extract. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

5. Stage

Beat frosting on high until thickened, 15-20 minutes. Top cupcakes with frosting, banana slices and whipped cream; sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
