Step-by-Step Instructions for Eggnog Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy for about 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in the egg whites and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- Gradually add the dry mixture and the room temperature eggnog in alternating batches, stirring until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the lined cupcake cavities, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-17 minutes.
- Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the softened unsalted butter until pale and fluffy, then gradually add the cold cream cheese.
- Incorporate powdered sugar until light and creamy, then stir in ground nutmeg.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes generously with the nutmeg cream cheese frosting.
