The Giveaway:
When I was asked to be part of the Sugar Cube Blog Tour to celebrate the newly released The Sugar Cube: 50 Deliciously Twisted Treats from the Sweetest Little Food Cart on the Planet, it sounded like my kind of party, but I hadn’t heard of the book or the adorable Portland, Oregon food cart before. But, upon first glance I fell in fast love with everything about Kir Jensen’s delicious sugared world, and after first read and taste, the book is now in my leave-it-out-because-I-use-it-so-much collection. I had such a hard time deciding what to make first, and what to share with you, but when I set eyes on Highway to Heaven Cupcakes adorned with shards of Ruffles and read that she’s built her entire reputation on this particular cupcake, I knew that these had to be my first Sugar Cube experience.
So what’s this book all about (aside from its undeniably adorable cover)?
This covetable cookbook is a greatest-hits collection from Sugar Cube, a tiny pink food cart in Portland, Oregon, that is thronged daily by hungry hordes craving voluptuous sweets intensified with a spike of booze, a lick of sea salt, or a “whoop” of whipped cream. Sugar Cube founder and baker Kir Jensen left the fine-dining pastry track to sell her handmade treats on the street. Recipes for 50 of Kir’s most enticing cupcakes, cookies, tarts, muffins, sips, and candies are made more irresistible (if possible!) by 32 delicious color photographs. Sassy headnotes and illustrations that resemble vintage tattoos liven up this singular boutique baking book.
And they do not lie–this book is everything they say it is, and more. It is really special. What I love is how Kir really pushes the boundaries of classic and comforting treats in a gourmet and innovative way (think Vanilla Bean Risotto, Coffee Mallow Meringue Pie, Cream Soda Ice Cream and more). The recipes are easy to follow and the flavors and textures almost leap straight off of the page. I am sincerely excited to make each and every recipe in her fabulous book, and I’m also excited that 1 lucky reader will win their own copy! But, let’s talk more about the recipe I made to share with you, these Highway to Heaven Cupcakes . . .
But don’t be fooled: What makes these cupcakes so incredible isn’t just the fact that there are salted caramel drizzled Ruffles chips on top, because that’s simply an added bonus (a sweet & salty, crunchy, heavenly bonus, that is), because there’s so much more depth and decadence to relish in here. The cupcakes are a moist super-chocolatey delight that are brushed with coffee syrup, injected with homemade salted caramel sauce, topped with a rich sexy bittersweet ganache, drizzled with more salted caramel sauce and then, if you love double-wowing the crowd, spears of caramel-drizzled potato chips, of course. As far as cupcakes go, it just doesn’t get any sexier.
These were so enticing in all of their dark, glossy, drizzled, crunchy goodness that I couldn’t stop taking Instagram photos while I was making them. When you’re trying to decide where to start in the flurry of decadent treats in this book, I can safely say this is an ideal place to start. (It’s also safe to say I’ll be making these cupcakes at least *once a month* for years to come.) Girls, who’s with me?

Now, here’s the recipe, shared with permission and as written in the book: The Sugar Cube: 50 Deliciously Twisted Treats from the Sweetest Little Food Cart on the Planet
highway to heaven cupcakes
makes 24 cupcakes
ingredients
cupcakes
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups warm strong-brewed coffee or french-pressed coffee
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
coffee syrup
- 1/2 cup strong-brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 recipe sexy bittersweet chocolate ganache
1 recipe salted caramel sauce, at room temperature
instructions
- To make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, coffee, eggs, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk just until incorporated and there are no lumps. (It’s a thin batter, but it will bake up beautifully.)
- Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups, leaving about 1/4 inch room at the top. Bake until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- To make the coffee syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the coffee and sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil for 1 to 2 minutes more to concentrate the mixture.
- While the cupcakes are still hot, brush the tops with coffee syrup. (You’ll use most but not all of it. Just discard the rest or use it in a cocktail.) Let the cupcakes cool completely before filling and frosting.
- Place the caramel in a squeeze bottle. Insert the tip into the top of each cupcake and squeeze in some caramel. (You’ll see them plump up a bit, but don’t fill them with so much that the cupcakes split.) Dip the tops in ganache, then tilt to shake off the excess. Let the chocolate set (it will be glossy but not runny) for about 30 minutes before drizzling with more salted caramel to serve.
sexy bittersweet ganache
makes about 2 cups
ingredients
- 12 ounces chopped good-quality bittersweet chocolate
- 14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, but into cubes
- 1/4 teaspoons good sea salt, such as fleur de sel
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
instructions
- In a medium metal bowl, combine the chocolate, butter, salt, and corn syrup. Put the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and heat, stirring, until the chocolate and butter have melted. Remove from the heat.
- Use as a glaze for cakes, or let cool until spreadable and use as a frosting or filling. Ganache can be refrigerated for 1 week. To gently rewarm, heat it in a microwave on 50 percent power or put it over a saucepan of barely simmering water and give it a good whisking.
salted caramel sauce
makes about 2 1/2 cups
ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fleur de sel
- 2 cups heavy cream, warmed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
instructions
- In a deep heavy-bottomed pot, combine the sugar, water, and salt and stir until well mixed. Cook over high heat until the sugar starts to color around the edges of the pot, swirling the pan to promote even caramelization of the sugar. (Do not stir or the sugar will crystalize, that is, harden.) Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the caramel is very dark mahogany is color and lightly smoking (it should be on the verge of burning), 10 to 15 minutes.
- Immediately remove the pot from the heat, and while stirring with a whisk or wooden spoon, add the warmed cream in a steady stream. (Since you’re taking the caramel to the dark side, you have to work quickly and being adding the cream right away to stop the cooking process. But you don’t want to add it all at once, so pour it in a continous, steady stream. Be careful: The mixture will steam and bubble up furiously. (I recommend wearing an oven mitt on the hand that’s stirring in the cream.) Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl. Stir in the vanilla and let cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour. Refrigerate, uncovered for several hours to thicken.
- Whisk before using or transferring to an airtight jar for longer storage. It will keep refrigerated for at least 1 week.
Sweetapolita’s Notes:
- I followed the recipes for each of the components exactly, and they were a success.
- I served and tasted several of these sans potato chips, and just drizzeld in the caramel sauce, and they were incredible too.
- As with some of my other favourite chocolate cake recipes, the coffee in these cupcakes simply enhances the deep chocolate flavour–they don’t taste coffee-ish, I promise.
- As Kir explains, the sexy bittersweet ganache goes on super glossy and dries with a nice sheen.
- I used Fleur de Sel
for the salted caramel sauce and the sexy bittersweet ganache, Cacao Barry Extra Brute Cocoa Powder
for the cupcakes, and Callebaut Dark Callets
and the ganache.
Good luck & enjoy!
peanut butter and chocolate is always a good combo:P
My fav. combo is raspberry and chocolate, although caramel and salt is becoming a close second.

Picking a favorite is just too difficult. There are so many good ones. For now, I’m really liking the sweet & salty combo.
Oh. My. Goodness!!!

dark chocolate & salted caramel is at the top of my list, along with coconut & chocolate, strawberry & cream cheese, and anything with cherries
I’m following you on Twitter and I tweeted about your giveaway. Come follow me @SmallTownCookie
I love cherry and almond together, although I’m not really a fan of fruit flavors in my desserts. I could also say peanut butter and chocolate, classic!
I’d say key lime, but that’s not a combination. (I will eat ANYTHING key lime. Or mango.) For combinations, though? I love anything that surprises me or contrasts sharply, like salt and sweet or dark and light. For desserts, I’d probably say caramel and salt.
I also tweeted: @extralizard13
My favorite dessert combination is coconut and chocolate! Hazelnut or lemon and chocolate are close seconds! Thanks for sharing this recipe and cookbook with us!
Oh Lord, those are some bad ass cupcakes! My favorite flavour combination is chocolate and salted caramel! I also tweeted ( @Crystalcakesmmm ) Definitely making these bad boys soon!

Neopolitan flavors are by far my favorite!!!
I love vanilla and chocolate…and raspberry and chocolate…and caramel and salt…and strawberry and vanilla! But if I had to pick just one combo (and I feel that I am letting all the others down!), it would have to be the “classic” vanilla and chocolate.
Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful recipes with us and for turning us on to other great bakers. My taste buds love you….my waistline expands at the very reading of each posting!
Will be whipping up a batch of these deliciously evil looking cupcakes soon!

Yum! This book looks delish! I love white chocolate & peanut butter together. It is so good in brownies!
caramel and sea salt for sure, but maybe only because you just mentioned it. I also love a good heady vanilla bean pairs with basically anything…but yeah, I adore caramel. This book sounds fabulous, perhaps I need to fly out to Portland!
You know, I think if someone put a gun to my head and said, “Name your absolute favorite dessert or I’ll shoot you,” I know I would be dead. I love chocolate! And strawberries.

My favourite treat is chili dark chocolate. Lindt makes bars that are 70% cocoa and the chili taste is insane. When my sister first told me about it, I was very skeptical, but now I am hooked. I have yet to make a dessert with the chocolate…it hardly has a chance to make it into the pantry before it hits the bottom of my stomach!
My favorite dessert combo is Ruffles with vanilla ice cream. It has been a family favorite for years! If I’m baking then its a vanilla cake, chocolate icing and tons of sprinkles.
I tweeted about the giveaway (@syoung01)! Thank you for sharing this with your fans!
Sweet and salty, yum!
PB and chocolate all the way :)

excessive combination…peanut butter, chocolate, banana, and marshmallow :)
My favorite combo is sweet and salty….nothing satisfies like a chocolate dipped pretzel!!!!
Chocolate and peanut butter!
It is hard to decide… flavor combinations depends on the mood and season… Chocolate,caramel and marshmallow with some pretzels maybe for fall/winter; vanilla-lemon (specially if has anything to do with some curd)for spring/summer; bu then again I could try 100 flavor combination that I would go crazy for…. ohhh desserts…
Peanut butter and chocolate!
my favorite flavor combo is chocolate and fruit (strawberry, raspberry, orange etc.)
PB and chocolate! The best!
My favourite combo of all time is salt and chocolate. So whether it be salted carmel or peanuts with chocolate. I know that these cupcakes will be mind-blowing because when I was young I used to dip chips in nutella as a snack. So yummy.
A newly discovered favorite for me is Chili and Chocolate! I discovered it in a chocolate bar. I haven’t had a chance to make it in cupcake form YET, but cannot wait.
vanilla on vanilla!
Mmmmm… sweet & spicy combos like cayenne and chocolate!
My favourite combination has to be coffee and chocolate OR raspberry and chocolate. Delicious!
I am digging banana and peanut butter. Like a banana cupcake with peanut butter buttercream. Delish.

Favorite combo?? That’s a realy unfair question…lol! I can’t choose. It’s a toss up between…Vanilla/Strawberry, Vanilla/Coconut, Chocolate/Rasberry and last but certainly not least, sweet/salty.

These are just a delight. Going to surprise my my friends for our weekly tea and serve them these with icy cold milk instead. As for favorite flavor, the most amazing cookie I ever head was a batch I made last week. Oatmeal cookie dough with dark chocolate covered dried cranberries, macadamia nuts, and crispy bacon. They were fantastic.

I’ll be making these cupcakes to auction off at my favorite charity auction in June (Village Community Services benefits people with autism and other developmental disabilities). Wouldn’t it be nice if I could add in this gorgeous cookbook to “sweeten” the deal? Typically these desserts go for hundreds of dollars – with this cookbook added in its sure to bring in lots of $$$ for these deserving people!

Cheers,
Pammm
I love cupcakes anything from red velvet to fudge.. That’s why when I tried making this cupcakes last night as desserts for the family they were all thrilled by what I just did.. Thank you for sharing the recipe, I wanted you to know that we all love your cupcake.. xoxoxo
its realy very dlicious …
Keep it up..
Tried these today – they’re awesome! The caramel doesn’t taste great on its own (not sure why, maybe I messed something up?) but the cupcakes taste great with everything together! Love the taste of the ruffles and caramel with the dark chocolate. Posted a pic on my fb and people love the idea!
I didn’t make the cupcakes, but this totally inspired me. I dipped Ruffles potato chips in melted bitter sweet chocolate, and sprinkles them with Heath bits. Totally easy and yummy! Thanks for being inspiring!
I LUV vanilla bean with salted caramel and dark chocolate… mmmm…
those cupcakes look super-cute and creativ, got 2 ask my friends what they think of the the combination idea for the ruffles and caramel! xD
Sophia
Question: do these cupcakes store well? I’d like to make them 2 days in advance. Should I just put the potato chips in at the last minute?
Will the chips get soggy?
