EGGNOG CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Remove the butter and eggs from fridge and allow to come to room temperature for 30 minutes, or soften in the microwave for 15 seconds.
• Combine the butter with the sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, ensuring that each egg is well beaten. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• In a separate bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add half the flour mixture followed by the rum, and mix just until combined.
• Pour in remaining dry ingredients, eggnog and sour cream and mix on medium speed until well combined.
• Using a large cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly, filling each liner 2/3 full.
• Bake at 375° F for 14-16 minutes. Test cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are finished. Allow to cool completely.
• Remove butter from fridge and allow to come to room temperature, or soften in the microwave for 15 seconds. Using a stand mixer, beat the butter for several minutes until light and fluffy.
• Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and slowly increase speed from low to medium. As the frosting becomes thicker, slowly add eggnog. Beat for several minutes until light and fluffy. Add nutmeg at any point.
• Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with nutmeg.

EGGNOG CUPCAKES WITH SPICED RUM BUTTERCREAM RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• To make cupcake: Measure out flour and set aside. Add sugar and butter in a bowl and cream on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs in 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the eggnog and vanilla to start. Mix after addition until incorporated-do not overbeat. Fill cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer cupcakes from tins to cooling rack. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. To make Spice Rum Buttercream: Combine egg whites and sugar in a bowl placed over simmering water. Bring mixture to 160 degrees F while whisking constantly. Transfer mixture to stand mixer bowl, fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium high speed (speed 8 on a KitchenAid stand mixer) until mixture cools and doubles in volume and forms stiff peaks; about 10-12 minutes). Add butter in one piece at a time, mixing to incorporate after each addition. The mixture may appear clumpy and almost curdled looking at first-this is normal. Keep mixing and it will become even and smooth again. Add salt and spiced rum and mix to combine.
