Eggnog Cupcakes
I know Eggnog can be very iffey for some folks but I've got to admit that I LOVE it. What better way to have some delicious Eggnog than through a cupcake??
I've baked this recipe and it really is Fabulous!!
Eggnog Cupcakes
1/4 cup dark rum or bourbon (you can also use an extract here and reduce amount; Vanilla extract can be used as well)
1 cup eggnog (can be light!)
1/4 cup dark rum or bourbon (you can also use an extract here and reduce amount; Vanilla extract can be used as well)
1 cup eggnog (can be light!)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
scant 1/4 tsp nutmeg, freshly ground
1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
scant 1/4 tsp nutmeg, freshly ground
1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350F. Fill a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
In a small bowl, mix together rum, eggnog, vegetable oil, vinegar and vanilla.
In a large bowl, mix together nutmeg, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Pour in rum mixture and whisk until just combined. Divide evenly into muffin tins (a 1/4 cup measure is a good tool for this).
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a tester comes out clean and the cakes spring back when lightly pressed.
Cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Our dear Savior's birth blessed us so much to be able to celebrate this season. Hence...I think He really wanted to bless us with these delicious Eggnog cupcakes too :)
