Bourbon-spiked fall cupcakes made with Betty Crocker™ spice cake mix, topped with creamy cheese frosting.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Spice Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 oz (half of 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 container (8 oz) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 box (16 oz) powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line 24 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups.
  • Prepare and bake the cake mix as instructed on the box to make cupcakes, using water, oil, and eggs as directed, while also incorporating 2 tablespoons of bourbon for a rich flavor. Allow the cupcakes to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them from the pans to cooling racks. Let them cool completely before serving.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to whip together butter, cream cheese, and mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons of bourbon until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. Spread or pipe the frosting onto cupcakes and sprinkle evenly with nutmeg.
