RumChata Cupcakes

I have a very good friend who also happens to be an excellent recipe pimp. Maybe it’s because my friend Amy is herself an incredible kitchen talent in her own right. She has turned me on to such recipes such as our Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip, our Sky-High Salted Caramel Cupcakes and any number of other recipes here on Platter Talk.

When I got a random faceobook message from Amy challenging me to make these RumChata Cupcakes, my response was brief. Game. On.

Ingredients for RumChata Cupakes and RumChada Frosting

• Box cake mix (we use vanilla but you can substitute for your preference)

• Vegetable Oil

• Eggs

• RumChata

• Powdered sugar

• Butter
  

• Vanilla extract

• Cinnamon

• Salt

Although you don’t need a lot of RumChata for this recipe, it goes in both the batter and in the frosting. Truly, you get a twofer with this dessert treat!

As you probably noticed from the short list of ingredients, these RumChata Cupcakes could not be any easier to put together. What’s more, you can pick yourself up a very basic and inexpensive cupcake decorating set and impress yourself and your friends and family. I’m about as far as you can be from possessing any artistic or creative talent and these tasty little beauties came out pretty appealing.

We’ve recently started putting food videos together and we couldn’t be happier with our latest recipe video that shows just how quickly and easily these RumChata Cupcakes can be made. I’m looking forward to more great recipes ideas from my friend Amy and if you like these cupcakes, I hope you will share it with your friends and family too.
