These Coquito Cupcakes are inspired by the classic Puerto Rican holiday drink, Coquito — a coconut and rum-spiced eggnog. These cupcakes are moist, coconut-flavored, and topped with a creamy rum-infused frosting, making them perfect for holiday parties or tropical-themed gatherings.
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
Mix in coconut milk, cream of coconut, and rum.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Divide batter among cupcake liners and bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, cream of coconut, rum, and cinnamon. Beat until fluffy.
Frost cooled cupcakes and top with toasted coconut or a dusting of cinnamon.
