These easy eggnog cupcakes are a festive treat perfect for the holiday season. Flavored with eggnog and warm spices, they’re topped with a rich eggnog buttercream frosting.

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 1 ¼ cups eggnog
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
  • 2 tablespoons eggnog, or more as needed
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. Combine cake mix, 1 1/4 cups eggnog, eggs, butter, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Stir frosting and 2 tablespoons eggnog together in a bowl until smooth and spreadable. Add more eggnog if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Frost cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a splash of rum extract or real rum to the batter.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can use homemade frosting if preferred.
