Whisky Cupcake

Nothing says I love you like a homemade cupcake! Our cupcakes are easy to make and really yummy.

Ingredients

  • 255g softened butter
  • 340g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 510g flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 Tbsp Whisky Syrup
  • 3 Tbsp Milk
  • 510g butter
  • 660g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp Whisky Syrup
  • 55g whipping cream (as much as needed to get correct consistency)

Method

  1. To Make the Cupcakes:
  2. Preheat oven to 350F.
  3. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla and mix.
  5. Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder.
  6. Add to the wet mixture and beat until just combined.

  8. Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake liners and divide batter evenly into cups (approximately 2/3 full for each cup).
  9. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, test with a toothpick. The top will be firm so make sure the inside is cooked through.
