Rum And Raisin Cupcakes Recipes

RUM AND RAISIN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Soak raisins in rum for 2-3 hours or overnight to soften them; drain.
• Preheat oven to 350°; place 18 paper baking cups in muffin pans.
• In a large bowl, combine all the cupcake ingredients (butter through eggs) and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in raisins; spoon batter into cups; bake for about 20 minutes.
• While the cupcakes are in the oven, combine the syrup ingredients in a saucepan; over low heat, dissolve the sugar in the rum.
• Simmer 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
• Remove pan from oven; with a toothpick, prick 5 holes in each cupcake and pour the warm syrup over them.
• Then remove the cupcakes and cool on a rack.

BIG MAN BAKES RUM RAISIN CUPCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 4 mini cupcake pans with 96 cupcake liners.
• Chop the raisins and place in a bowl. Add the baking soda, and then stir in the boiling water. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Add the flour, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl. Cream the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually add the sugar, mixing until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition, and beat until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, rum flavoring, and rum. Add the flour mixture alternating with the raisin mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour into the cupcake liners and bake until light brown on top, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool before frosting.
• Cream the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the vanilla and salt. Alternate adding the powdered sugar with the cream, a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

COCONUT RUM-RAISIN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Brush standard muffin tins with butter; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a bowl, pour rum over raisins, and let soak. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of heavy cream, and beating until combined after each. Mix in raisin mixture and coconut.
• Divide batter evenly among prepared cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 20 minutes. Run a small offset spatula or knife around edges; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored up to 3 days at room temperature in airtight containers.
• To serve, set cupcakes on dessert plates, and spoon glaze over each. Alternatively, finish by placing cupcakes on a wire rack set over a baking sheet; spoon glaze over cupcakes, and let set. Cupcakes are best eaten the day they are glazed; keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Heat sugar and the water in a heavy saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear. Stop stirring, and cook until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Continue to boil, gently swirling occasionally to color evenly, until mixture is medium amber. Remove from heat. Carefully stir in rum and cream (the mixture will spatter) with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.

RUM AND RAISIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Put the raisins in a bowl or kilner jar, add the rum and leave to soak for at least 1-2 weeks (the longer the better!)
• Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar.
• Beat the eggs, milk and melted butter together in a separate bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Pour in the beaten liquid ingredients and add the soaked raisins with the soaking rum. Stir gently until just combined, do not over-mix.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cases and bake in the oven for about 20mins until well-risen, golden brown and firm to the touch.
• Leave the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the icing, mix together the butter, icing sugar, rum and milk until smooth and creamy. Spoon equally on to the top of each muffin and sprinkle with the grated chocolate. Enjoy!
