My kids pretty much gag at the idea of eggnog. I don't know if it's too thick or just too strong of a flavor but it's not a holiday flavor they enjoy...until now. They've definitely figured out a way that the flavor of eggnog tastes good to them - in my eggnog cupcakes with white chocolate frosting.These cupcakes are super easy to make because they use a boxed cake mix and a little eggnog, plus my awesome, not-too-sweet, white chocolate frosting recipe.
Eggnog Cupcakes with White Chocolate Buttercream
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup eggnog
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 ½ tsp nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 350˚. Line muffin tin with 24 cupcake liners.
2. Mix all ingredients and then beat
on medium for 2 minutes.
3. Divide the batter into
the cupcake liners. Fill about 2/3 full.
4. Bake for about 18-23
minutes, until the cupcake springs back to the touch. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before
frosting.
5. Using a piping bag and a
tip, frost the tops of the cupcakes with white chocolate frosting.
