Whiskey Cupcakes
These were an experiment in making 'manly' cupcakes. My husband (a self proclaimed whiskey connoisseur) gave these a tick of tasty approval.Whiskey cupcakes |
Making the cake:
These cakes are a simple vanilla cupcake batter with the
following modifications: buttermilk (instead of milk), four tablespoons of
Glenfiddich 12 y/o single malt whiskey.
Making the frosting:
The frosting is a simple vanilla cream cheese frosting with
an added teaspoon of Glenfiddich. I added a little yellow food colouring
(but I only lightly stirred it through so that when piped it would give a
slight swirl effect - I don't think it was that successful). The cupcakes are completed with a sprinkle of grated white chocolate.
