These cupcakes are a great way to get the flavor of eggnog without being overwhelmed by its richness. The frosting is light and creamy, not overly sweet or waxy!

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 ½ cups eggnog
4 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup eggnog
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter
¼ cup shortening
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Stir yellow cake mix, 1 1/2 cups eggnog, eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, and nutmeg together in a bowl until batter is smooth. Pour cupcake batter into prepared muffin cups to fill about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Stir 1 cup eggnog and flour together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Beat butter, shortening, and sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly beat in cooled eggnog mixture and beat until desired frosting consistency is reached. Spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes.

These cupcakes were a bit dry, but the eggnog flavor was good. I think I would add more moisture to the batter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of eggnog, but these cupcakes were actually really good. The eggnog flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
