ingredients

1 Box White Cake Mix

Substitute Whisper Creek® for water (plus add 1/4 cup)

¼ Cup Whisper Creek® (optional)

FROSTING

2 Sticks Butter, Softened

2 Cups Powdered Sugar

¼ Cup Whisper Creek Tennessee Sipping Cream

DIRECTIONS

Start by making the cupcakes according to the cake mix directions, except substitute Whisper Creek for the water that is asked for with an additional 1/4 cup to compensate for the evaporation of alcohol. Bake the cupcakes and let cool before poking the tops with a fork to make small holes. Optional: brush the tops of the cupcakes with the ¼ cup Whisper Creek and allow them to absorb before frosting.

Make the frosting, cream butter, and powdered sugar, and whisper the creek with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Top the cupcakes with the frosting, serve, and enjoy!

Note: while there will still be some alcohol in the frosting and a little brushed onto the cupcakes, it is a nominal amount. The alcohol in the batter will cook off while the cupcakes are baking.
