Cupcakes

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a bowl and mix to combine well.

Bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place pan a wire rack to cool for approximately 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes from pan. If using a 12 count cupcake pan, repeat process with second half of the batter. Allow to cool completely prior to frosting.

Add 2 cups powdered sugar, nutmeg and salt to the butter mixture and mix until well combined. Add 2 tbsp of the Shamrock Farms Eggnog to the mixture, along with vanilla (or rum) extract, and mix until well combined. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Add remaining 2 tbsp Shamrock Farms Eggnog and mix until well combined. If a thinner frosting is desired, add additional eggnog, 1/2 tbsp at a time. Pipe or frost cooled cupcakes.
