Recipe Box, Beach Bum Butter Rum Cupcakes
Eating these cupcakes is like taking a vacation~
Butter pecan cakes full of butterscotch chips and flavored with coconut rum 😋
Topped with an umbrella, these will take you straight to a sandy beach 😎
These are a sea breeze to make, mix Butter Pecan Cake Mix, instant butterscotch pudding, a stick of melted butter, butterscotch chips, eggs, and a little coconut rum* to keep things on Island Time 🌴
*if you don’t want to use coconut rum, substitute water {or regular rum} flavored with 1 T coconut extract. Don’t worry, the alcohol bakes off during cooking
After mixing the batter, stir in the butterscotch chips
Spoon into lined or sprayed mini muffin tins
Bake 10-12 minutes or until just done
Make the buttercream icing with either milk or cream and a little almond extract
Frost the cool cupcakes and sprinkle with brown sugar…this is the sandy beach 🌊🌊 ☀️🌴
Now top them with a colorful umbrella
Can’t you feel the sand between your toes?
