MARGARITA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line muffin cups with paper liners.
• Mix cake mix and butter together in a large bowl; add eggs, margarita mix, and egg yolks and stir just until combined. Pour lemon-lime soda into batter and stir until foam is dissolved. Stir tequila into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

MARGARITA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, tequila and lime zest and juice and set aside. Combine the granulated sugar and butter in the bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the vanilla. Adjust the speed to medium low and add the flour mixture and sour cream mixture in alternating batches, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
• Fill each liner about three-quarters full using a 1 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop. Bake, rotating about halfway through, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the middles comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, remove to a rack, brush with the orange liqueur and let cool completely.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth. Turn the speed down to low and spoon in the confectioners' sugar until completely combined. Add the lime juice and a pinch of salt and turn the speed back up to medium high until light and fluffy. Frost the cupcakes with an offset spatula or by piping with a pastry bag once completely cool.
• For the garnish: Cut the lime in half lengthwise and then thinly slice into half-moons. Top each cupcake with a lime slice. Combine the sugar, lime zest and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle each cupcake with the sugar-lime mixture.

CHOCOLATE-COFFEE TEQUILA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cupcake pan with paper liners.
• Whisk together flour, white sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In another bowl, mix buttermilk, tequila, liquefied coconut oil, lime juice, brown sugar, coffee, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry, and blend using an electric mixer until incorporated. Pour batter into cupcake liners until 2/3 full. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the cupcake cleanly. Because of all the liquid in the batter, this will take longer than normal.
• Remove cupcakes from cupcake tins and allow to cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes.
• When cupcakes are cooled completely, blend remaining coconut oil until it becomes very white and creamy. Add 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of milk and beat until smooth. Add all remaining ingredients except for coconut flakes and blend on low speed until desired consistency is reached.
• Once cupcakes are completely cooled, top with frosting. Sprinkle coconut flakes on the top of each cupcake so it sticks to the frosting.
• Store cupcakes in refrigerator (coconut oil tends to liquefy at room temperature, which will make the frosting run).
