Provided by KatrinaB

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

Cupcakes
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons King Arthur unbleached cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups peeled, cored and chopped Macintosh apples
1 small lime
Frosting
1 stick room temperature salted butter
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon dark rum
1 teaspoon lime juice

Steps:

Preheat oven 350 degrees Cupcakes In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and nutmeg. Set aside. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. On lowest speed add egg and vanilla until incorporated. Next, peel, core and finely chop apples. Zest one lime, cut in half and squeeze the juice of half the lime (reserve other half for frosting). Mix the lime zest and lime juice with apples. Pour apples in to the mixer and mix to incorporate. Slowly add dry ingredients scraping down the sides. Spoon batter in to lined cupcake pan. Bake 20 minutes. Remove and cool completely. Frosting Using a hand or stand mixer beat butter adding small amounts (about 1/4 cup) of powdered sugar at a time. Beat frosting until creamy. Finally, beat the vanilla, rum and reserved lime juice in to frosting. Spoon frosting in to a piping bag and frost cupcakes. Yields 12 cupcakes

Tips:

For a boozy twist, add 1 ounce of dark rum to the cupcake batter.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
To make sure your cupcakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it comes out clean, they're done.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
For a more sophisticated flavor, use a dark chocolate ganache instead of buttercream frosting.
