1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
¼ cup butterscotch sauce
1 cup cream soda
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together ½ cup of vegetable oil, 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, ¼ cup of butterscotch sauce, and 1 cup of cream soda.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
While the cupcakes cool, beat together 1 cup of heavy cream with ¼ cup of powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Add a splash of vanilla extract.
Once cooled, pipe the whipped frosting on top and drizzle some butterscotch sauce over each cupcake.
