If you have Internet access you may have seen the recipe for Rumchata Cupcakes going around. Well, I love to bake, so I tried it out and YUM! The cupcakes were pretty good too! Until I saw the recipe as it flooded facebook and pinterest I had never heard of Rumchata, and needed help in the liquor store locating it. Once I got it home, Hubby and I eyed the bottle and decided to give it a taste, after all, you want to make sure your ingredients for cupcakes are good. And WOW, it is yummy. Anyhow, I digress, the cupcakes turned out great, they were very good, with a strong cinnamon overtone. The frosting on the other hand leaves much to be desired. The cream cheese flavor is too heavy, and makes the frosting too rich, and masks the flavor of the Rumchata in the mix. I even doubled the amount called for, and it still was lost in the strong cream cheese flavors. So I have decided I will have to make these again, however, this time I am going to use my own frosting recipe. I make champagne cupcakes and I am going to use the butter cream recipe frosting for those, but instead of champagne substitute Rumchatta. I am certain that the flavor will shine through in that frosting and will take these already delicious cupcakes to a whole new level.
I am going to add a link to the pin for the cupcakes and will update this post once I have made these again with the modified frosting recipe, and will share that as well. (assuming it turns out as great as I imagine it will.)
