Whiskey Cupcakes

Haven't tried this yet but am just imagining all the things we could do to this Recipe for these amazing Whiskey Cupcakes:

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  
• 1 cup brewed coffee
  
• 1 cup of American whiskey
  
• 2 Sticks of unsalted butter cut in to one inch pieces.
  
• 2 Cups of sugar
  
• 2 Cups of all-purpose flour
  
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  
• 1/2 teaspoons salt
  
• 2 Large eggs
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  

Put oven rack in middle posistion and preheat oven to 325F.

Heat
coffee, whiskey, butter, and cup of cocoa powder in a 3-quart heavy
saucepan over moderate heat, whisking until butter is melted. Remove
from heat, then add sugar and whisk until dissolved, about 1 minute.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl and cool 5 minutes.

While
chocolate mixture cools, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in
a bowl. whisk together eggs and vanilla in a small bowl, Then whisk
into cooled chocolate mixture until combined well. Add flour mixture
and whisk until just combined(don’t worry the batter will be a bit thin
and bubbly). Bake Cupcakes for 30 to 40 minutes. Then place cupcakes on
a rack to cool then dust with powdered sugar. Use an ice cream scooper to make sure that all cup cake cups are even. This made about 12 Jumbo Cupcakes.

lovely recipe... thanks. sounds like a perfect autumn treat with afternoon tea, hot totties maybe.
as soon as i'm done with the candida diet...
how about substituting whole wheat flour and date sugar?
...kidding.

YUM!! I'm doing wheat free so it will have to wait for me too.
Mademoiselle I did the candida diet years ago with great success. Soda bread became my starch stand by. there's some great whet free flour blends on the market now and I took atraditional Irish Soda bread recipe.

Good Luck

whiskey and coffee!!! together in cupcakes!!! these are a few of my favorite things too bad i don't have an oven here at the farm

i have one- we can make them here! only thing is saving some maza to buy the whiskey and some good chocolate and what do you think for frosting?.. i have one for butter cream and maple syrup i like- lil brandy in it too

yummy! i'm not quite a baker so any thoughts you have on frosting are good ones to me. yes, yes, maza for whiskey and good chocolate...i hear ya on that one. soon my new j-o-b will start and then we're in business

What's the new j-o-b?

serving tables (to eat my "i'm over that" words from months ago) at the new Hopmonk Tavern opening in sebastopol. it's actually going to be a pretty sweet spot...they put in a super stellar sound system in the music venue part and will have some amazing beers on tap....might have to be the new herb school watering hole...

Count me in for the cool beers and the new place. It's closer for me.

We all ocasionally eat our own words. We've gotta do what we gotta do. I was reminded of that today.

hey, i think i can afford the ingredients to those cupcakes now...so when's the bake-date? might as well get natasha to bring that barbeque over to you house and make an event of it all.

Count me in. eventhough I'm gluten free I can at least smell them.

Missed you in class today.
