Ingredients for Eggnog Cupcakes
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups eggnog
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Ingredients for Eggnog Buttercream Frosting
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 2/3 cup softened butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and stir.
Add the butter, eggs and eggnog, and mix until combined.
Pour batter into muffin tins, which have been lined with paper baking cups, about 2/3 full, and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from oven, and let cool completely before frosting. Makes 24 cupcakes.
For the frosting, mix the butter and vanilla together until creamy.
Gradually add the sugar and eggnog, and beat until fluffy. You can gradually add a little more eggnog to get the right consistency to frost the cupcakes. If the frosting seems runny, it will firm up in the refrigerator after the cupcakes have been frosted.
