Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a bowl, mix together root beer schnapps, root beer, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, mix until smooth.
- Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Mix with hand mixer on low, while slowly pouring in root beer mixture.
- Mix until smooth and lump free.
- Pour into lined cupcake pan. (Use foil cupcake liners to avoid leakage later.) Fill nearly to the top, you may think its over-filled, but it puffs up perfectly this way. Don't be tempted to use more than 24 cupcake cups.
- Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until golden brown and cake springs back when touched.
- While cupcakes are baking, prepare your butter cream and root beer glaze. For glaze, put all ingredients into a bowl and mix with a wisk until smooth and lump free.
- To assemble, start by letting cupcakes cool, still in the pan.
- While still slightly warm, pour 1 Tbs. of root beer schnapps over each cupcake. Pour on slowly to allow schnapps ( or regular root beer for the kiddies) to soak inches.
- Once the schnapps has soaked in and let sit for a few minutes, pour a couple tablespoons of glaze over each cupcake.
- When the glaze sets up a bit and isn't too runny, put a scoop of buttercream atop each. For an added touch, you can even place a root beer barrel candy on each one.
