I got Patron in my Cup***cake

I have made these a few times and they pack a punch! 2 will set you right!

I know, I know I thought the same thing, tequila and sugar? YUKKK. BUT once all the ingredients are combined they taste like a Margarita. Trust me…..*wink*

Once you try em let me know what you think.

*Makes about 10 cupcakes

2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 stick butter, room temperature
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
¼ cup + 2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp Patron tequila
1 tbsp orange liqueur (I used Patron, other options include Triple
Sec, Grand Marnier, Contreau..)
zest of one lime + juice of half of it
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Prepare a pan or silicone molds to your liking.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, lime zest, and salt in a bowl.
3. Cream together butter and sugar in another bowl until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add half the dry ingredients and wet ingredients (milk, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur) into this bowl and combine after each addition. Add zest and the other half of the dry ingredients and mix again.
4. Pour into cupcake pan.
5. Bake in oven for 16-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in a center cake comes out clean.

The Tequila Lime Frosting Recipe

* 1/4 cup butter or nonhydrogenated shortening, melted
* 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream or soymilk
* 3 tbsp lime juice
* 1 tbsp tequila
* 2+ cups confectioners’ sugar
* coarse sugar and salt for “rims”

Cream together butter/nonhydrogenated shortening (depending on whether you want the frosting vegan or not), heavy whipping cream or soymilk, lime juice, tequila, and 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar. Add in more sugar as needed to make the frosting smooth and spreadable. Spread on cupcakes and roll the edges in a small amount of coarse sugar and salt (poured into a small bowl, so it’s easy to direct it).

Darlish!!!
