Method Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake pan with liners.
To make the batter: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cane sugar, dark brown sugar, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract. Add in the eggs and milk and mix on low until combined. Scrape down the side of the bowl and mix again until combined.
In a separate bowl, add the cake flour, baking powder, and sea salt and whisk together. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture and mix on low until combined into a smooth batter, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Fill cupcake liners to three quarters full.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Once the cupcakes are cool enough start the frosting. In a double boiler, melt the milk chocolate until smooth.
To make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla bean, melted milk chocolate and milk.
