DRUNKEN BUTTER RUM CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Drunken Butter Rum Cupcakes Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Cupcakes
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1 (18 1/2 ounce) box butter recipe cake mix (or yellow if you cant find it)
1 3/4 ounces vanilla instant pudding mix (about half a standard packet)
4 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk, cold
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup dark rum
For the Butter Rum Glaze
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark rum
For the Rum Buttercream frosting
16 ounces confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons dark rum, plus up to 2 tablespoons more, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line muffin pan with paper liners. Toast pecan and coconut over medium heat in a dry skillet for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Combine all cake ingredients in a large stainless steel bowl. Beat for 2 minutes on high with electric mixer. Stir in pecans and coconut flake mixture reserving about 1/3 cup for garnishing later. Pour batter into prepared cups. Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out of center completely clean. Place on a cooling rack. Prick top of cupcakes with toothpick. ALLOW TO COOL COMPLETELY. For glaze:. Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in 1/4 cup of the rum and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup of rum. For Frosting: Before starting, place your stainless steel bowl and the arms for mixer into the freezer, for about 5 minutes. The cold bowl and arms form stiffer peaks in your frosting. In large bowl, with mixer at medium-low speed, beat sugar, butter, vanilla, and 4 tablespoons rum until blended. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Beat in more rum as needed for desire consistency for frosting. To finish cupcakes: Dip tops of cupcakes into Butter Rum Glaze and allow excess to drop off before placing back down. This part can get a bit messy. Pipe on dollops of frosting, I usually leave some of the cupcake showing cause the glaze is so shiny and pretty. 21 Drizzle a small amount of remaining drizzle over top of frosting. Sprinkle with remaining pecan and coconut.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter at room temperature to ensure the drunken butter rum cupcakes have a smooth and even texture.
  • Measure the flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife. This will prevent the cupcakes from becoming too dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
