As any regular reader of my blog knows, I am not a huge fan of flavored whiskey – in my glass, anyway. It can, however, work quite well in baking, as in this cupcake recipe shared by the folks who make Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey liqueur. Watch out with these: There is liqueur in the batter, the frosting and the drizzle.
Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1½ cups flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ tsp baking powder
- 3 Tbsp Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey (You could also use Wild Turkey’s American Honey Liqueur)
- 3 Tbsp Milk
- Cupcake liners
For the drizzle:
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the buttercream frosting:
- 1½ cup butter, room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey
- ¼ cup heavy cream (as much as needed to get correct consistency)
Instructions
To make the cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix just to incorporate.
- Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the wet mixture and beat until just combined.
- Add the whiskey and milk until just combined.
- Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake liners and divide batter evenly into cups; approximately ⅔ full for each cup.
- Bake for 16 to 20 minutes; test with a toothpick; the top will be firm so make sure the inside is cooked through.
- Cool completely on a wire cake cooling rack before frosting.
To make the drizzle:
- Add all ingredients together in a small pan, bring to a boil and boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool before drizzling on cupcakes.
To make the buttercream frosting:
- Cream butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar.
- Add the vanilla and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey and combine thoroughly.
- Add the cream a Tbsp at a time until your frosting is very light and fluffy and the correct consistency.
- Using a large serrated icing tip, pipe the frosting onto cupcakes.
- Garnish with the Boozy Drizzle.
