Everyone's Irish, Even in August: Whisky Maple Cupcakes Recipe

Thing I'm saddest about at this minute: I do not have a Whisky Maple cupcake from Cupcake Royale in my mouth. This is a fact that became all the more evident when I read the Seattle Weekly writeup on the delicious seasonal morsel, which is sadly available only during March. 

Happily, I uncovered the recipe in an issue of Edible Seattle, and you know what that means: you can be Irish any time you want now. And oh, how sweet to be Irish with a rich sour cream vanilla cupcakes with whisky maple buttercream. They're just as good made at home (although your frosting swirls might not be as perfect as the one shown above, which was made by Cupcake Royale!).

Here's the recipe.

Sour Cream Vanilla Cupcakes with Whisky Maple Buttercream

Adapted from Cupcake Royale

Cupcake ingredients 

• 3/4 cup whole milk (I used half and half! heavy, but tasty)
• 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, room temperature 

Frosting ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup whisky (CCR uses Jameson, I used some cheap brand, I'll be honest about it)
• 5 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Line a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners (this recipe yields 18-24 cupcakes, depending on size). 
3. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the milk, sour cream, and vanilla. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 
4. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat together on medium spead until the mixture is light and fluffy, about one minute. Add the eggs one at a time, beating at medium speed for a full 30 seconds after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add half the dry mixture, and beat until incorporated. Repeat the process again, mixing until the liquid and dry ingredients are combined, the batter thick and smooth.
5. For traditional cupcakes, fill each lined cup 2/3 of the way full with batter. For fat crowns on your cakes, fill each cupcake liner close to the top (this will make fewer cupcakes, but bigger and awesomer ones).
6. Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
7. Make the frosting. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, whiskey, syrup, salt, and one cup of the confectioners' sugar together until smooth. Add the rest of the sugar bit by bit until it has reached your desired consistency (you might not use all of it). Spread generously on cooled cupcakes.

"Irish Whiskey Maple babycakes are available Friday, August 13th only, and only for the first 50 high-fivers in each Cupcake Royale cafe"

That's cute, I was just thinking of Ireland too! Your whiskey cupcake would go great with my Guinness ice cream! Thank you for the recipe.

These are really stunning. The frosting is perfectly sitting on that little cake.
It's funny because I just made a Whiskey blueberry ice cream. Is it Whiskey season? I wouldn't think.

Be proud of it. A premier jersey is made of lighter material and is usually nylon/polyester .And cheaper again is a replica <a href=http://www.winjerseys.com>wholesale nfl jerseys</a> .These jerseys are made from thinner fabrics so won’t last as well as the more expensive authentic jerseys, but are much cheaper .There are always better options when it comes to buying<a href=http://www.winjerseys.com>cheap nfl jerseys</a> products online, and if you know where to look you’ll pick up a great authentic <a href=http://www.winjerseys.com>wholesale nhl jerseys</a> online at a price that might rival a cheap replica jersey in an offline store .Happy searching and enjoy your NFL jersey when you get it .These are cheaper than the authentic <a href=http://www.winjerseys.com>cheap nhl jerseys</a> which is great, but are not of the same quality that you get with the authentic jersey . If you can’t afford an authentic NFL jersey you can go one step down and order a premier NFL jerseys .It should look just as good as an authentic jersey, but is made cheaper .A good authentic NFL jersey isn’t cheap, but there are ways to get cheap authentic <a href=http://www.winjerseys.com>nfl jerseys</a> if you know where to look online.w2200fmx
