Indulge in the flavors of a classic White Russian cocktail with these delightful cupcakes. Moist and infused with vodka and Kahlúa, topped with a rich Vodka-Buttercream Icing, they are perfect for adult dessert lovers.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1/4 cup Kahla coffee liqueur
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Vodka-Buttercream Icing:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp vodka
  • 1 tbsp Kahla
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: chocolate shavings or coffee beans for decoration

Instructions:

Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake pan

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk

When the butter is soft, put it in a different bowl and mix it with the sugar until it is light and fluffy

Add the eggs one at a time and make sure they are well mixed in

Mix the milk, vodka, Kahla, and vanilla extract into the batter until it is smooth

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined

Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

After putting the cupcakes in the pan to cool for a while, move them to a wire rack to cool completely

For the buttercream frosting with vodka: Put the softened butter in a bowl and beat it until it's smooth

Add the powdered sugar, vodka, Kahla, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt one at a time

Mix the frosting well until it's fluffy and smooth

Use a piping bag or a knife to frost the cupcakes with the vodka-buttercream icing after they are completely cool

If you want, you can decorate with chocolate shavings or coffee beans

Enjoy these tasty White Russian Cupcakes that have a hint of vodka and coffee liqueur in them!
