Rum Chata Cupcakes

Rum Chata tastes like liquid Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and when I tasted it I knew I had to try something new with it.  These cupcakes are great for Bridal Showers, Bachlorette Parties or Holiday gatherings.  Best part is, you won’t be able to tell they are made from a box!

Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 28 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 24 Cupcakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Pillsbury Traditional Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (Coconut oil is amazing in this!)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Rum Chata liquor
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven for 350 degrees.
  • Mix the cake mix, water, vanilla, rum and oil together.
  • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl then add to the batter and mix thoroughly for 1 minute.
  • Pour the batter into cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes. The cupcakes will be light brown on top and the toothpick will come out clean.

Notes

*These cupcakes are for ADULTS ONLY since they do have alcohol as an ingredient. *If you don’t have the Pillsbury Traditional Vanilla Cake mix, just substitute 75% of the water listed on the box mix recipe for Rum Chata.  In other words, if the recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups water, do 1 cup Rum Chata and 1/4 water. If it calls for 1 cup water, then put 3/4 cup Rum Chata and 1/4 cup water.
