Description

These are adult cupcakes for sure, considering they have over a cup of rum mixed into them. Yep, that’s right!

There’s nothing quite like a cocktail and dessert all in one! Actually, the rum flavor ends up being very subtle, but adds a great background flavor and a moistness to the spicy cake! This is such a fun twist on a usual favorite. Give them a try.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (about 18 Oz. Size) Spice Cake Mix
  • Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
  • 1 cup Rum
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 container (about 16 Oz. Size) Vanilla Frosting
  • ½ cups Chopped Candied Ginger
  • 12 whole Gingerbread Men Cookies

Preparation

Prepare your cupcakes according to the box instructions (you’ll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package) but replace the water with rum! Stir the ground ginger into the batter, and fill your cupcake liners. Bake as directed.


When the cupcakes have cooled, frost them and sprinkle the tops with the candied ginger. Add the Gingerbread Men in “drunken-like” postions on top of each cupcake. Get creative!

These are so moist, spicy, sweet and delicious. Enjoy!

Great cupcakes, wonderful tasting, and very easy to make. I don’t care for store bought frosting so I made cream cheese frosting. They were a hit with co-workers.
