Title: Rum Cake Cupcake
Ingredients:
– 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs, room temperature
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup rum
– For the rum syrup:
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup water
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup rum
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Stir in the rum until well incorporated into the batter.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the rum syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, water, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the rum.
