Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Eggnog
- 1 tablespoons Espresso powder
- 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons Eggnog (for frosting)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a small bowl or cup, dissolve the espresso powder into the eggnog.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the eggnog mixture to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Fill each liner about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat the softened butter with a mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, followed by the eggnog. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, frost them using a piping bag or a spatula.
Garnish each cupcake with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg to enhance the festive flavors.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Eggnog Latte Cupcakes!
