Eggnog Cupcakes Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Eggnog Cupcakes Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take a moment to prepare your muffin cups.

3. Step 3

   You can either grease them lightly or line them with cheerful paper muffin liners—whichever you prefer! In a large mixing bowl, combine a box of yellow cake mix with 1 1/2 cups of rich eggnog, a couple of eggs, melted butter, and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

4. Step 4

   Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and inviting.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to fill those muffin cups! Pour the delightful batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow for some lovely rising.

6. Step 6

   Slide the tray into your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.

7. Step 7

   You’ll know they’re ready when they turn a beautiful golden color and spring back when you gently press the tops.

8. Step 8

   Once baked, transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and let them cool completely—this is the perfect time to enjoy the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen! For the frosting, grab a saucepan and mix 1 cup of eggnog with some flour over medium-high heat.

9. Step 9

   Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Once thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.
