Description

Cozy and flavorful cupcakes infused with Fireball whiskey and topped with a rich whiskey frosting, perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Fireball whiskey
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ¼ cup Fireball whiskey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and Fireball whiskey.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.
  7. In a bowl, whip the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Stir in Fireball whiskey and vanilla extract.
  8. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, generously frost them with the whiskey frosting.
  9. Optional: sprinkle with cinnamon or drizzle caramel on top before serving.

Notes

Make sure to let your cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
