Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 28 minutes

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.  [recipe]
