Beat the brown sugar and butter until they are light and creamy.
One by one, add the eggs, thoroughly mixing each time. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the self-raising flour gradually until just incorporated.
A toothpick inserted into the cupcake liners should come out clean after 20 to 25 minutes of baking. Let the cupcakes cool down.

2. Get the Salted Caramel Sauce ready:

Melt the sugar in a pot over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it turns amber.
Add the butter slowly and whisk until it melts. Stirring continuously, gradually pour in the heavy cream.
Take off the heat and add the sea salt, stirring. Allow the caramel sauce to cool.

3. Prepare the buttercream icing:

Creamy softened butter is achieved by beating it.
Add the salted caramel flavoring and icing sugar gradually until smooth. If necessary, use the milk to change the consistency.

4. Put the cupcakes together:

Put a teaspoon of salted caramel sauce in the center of each cupcake when it has cooled.
Drizzle extra salted caramel sauce over the buttercream frosting. As a garnish, sprinkle a teaspoon of sea salt on top.
