Eggnog cupcake recipe found on: Fun Pinata Party Ideas
Items Needed for your egg nog cupcake (yes I know I typed egg nog vs eggnog, it is shown both ways and I want to make sure I do not offend anyone :-) )
Yellow cake mix
Eggnog
Nutmeg
Imitation Rum Extract
Egg Nog Frosting
1 Decorator bag or plastic baggie
Directions:
1. Add 1 Tbsp. ground nutmeg to the dry cake mix.
Then prepare according to directions on box, EXCEPT substitute 1 cup of egg nog for the water called for and add 1 tsp. imitation rum extract.
(Meaning.... , add 1 cup egg nog and ¼ cup water.)
2. After the eggnog cupcakes have baked and cooled, frost with your favorite frosting, but there is an eggnog frosting recipe below. Once don, sprinkle with nutmeg
Eggnog Frosting
½ butter or margarine, softened
½ cup shortening
1 tsp. imitation rum extract
3 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup + 2 Tbsp. egg nog
Cream butter and shortening. Add rum extract and mix. Add sugar, one cup at a time and continue mixing. Scrape sides as needed. Add egg nog.
The frosting should be easy to spread, and still firm so it will hold its shape. Add more powdered sugar to thicken or more half and half to thin the frosting—but add in very small increments.
Keep frosting refrigerated when not using. Mix well before use because it spreads easier when it’s warm.
