Found this in the book Cupcakes! by Lynn Koolish and am waiting for an excuse to make them! I find the idea of the 6 flavor glaze enticing. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
3 cups sugar |
5 eggs, beaten, at room temperature |
3 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup milk |
1 teaspoon coconut, flavor |
1 teaspoon rum, flavor |
1 teaspoon butter flavor extract |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon coconut |
1 teaspoon rum |
1 teaspoon butter |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325.
2. Cream butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat eggs until they are lemon colored, add to the butter mixture.
4. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.
5. Stir in flavorings. Beat on high spead 1 minute.
6. Line muffin pans with paper baking cups and fill 2/3 full. Tap pan a few times to remove air bubbles.
7. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes.
8. Make Glaze:.
9. Combine ingredients in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is melted.
10. Pour half of glaze over the cupcakes while they are still in the pan, then the other half after they are removed.
