With Thanksgiving behind us, I was ready to get in the holiday spirit and wanted to incorporate eggnog into a baked treat; the flavor of eggnog translates so well into dessert!
These Eggnog Cupcakes are vanilla cupcakes with eggnog substituted for milk. They are topped off with a dollop of whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 1 can whipped topping
- ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
