Moscato Cupcakes

Okay, here is my recipe for Moscato Cupcakes with a Moscato Cream cheese icing. The same recipe should me a good cake if you prefer cakes. I will add pictures once morgaine wakes up.


Ingredients for Cupcakes:

2 and 1/2 Cups Flour
1 and 1/4 Cups White Sugar
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup Moscato Wine
3/4 Cup Non-Skimmed Milk (I usually use skim milk for most cooking, for this one you need to use a thicker dairy product, light cream, buttermilk, and whole milk all work fantastic)
2 Large Eggs
1.5 TSP Baking Soda
1 TSP Salt
1 TSP White Vinegar



Ingredients for Icing:

1 Cup Confectionery Sugar
6-8 ounces of cream cheese (If you want you can substitute half the cream cheese with butter)
1/2 Cup Moscato
1 TSP Vanilla Extract




Optional for both or either: A dash of food coloring or grenadine to give the cupcakes some color.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Mix all ingredients together by hand. I personally prefer to mix all dry ingredients together first before adding in wet ingredients.

Step 3: Bake for 10-15 Minutes, or however long you think for them to be done.

Step 4: While letting cupcakes cool, create Icing.

Step 5: Whip icing ingredients together by hand.

Step 6: Enjoy!

WARNING: Because you never bake the Icing these cupcakes will remain Alcoholic, just remember that, while 1/2 Cup of Moscato divided amongst however many cupcakes you make is doubtful to get any adults drunk, keep this in mind around children, recovering alcoholics etc.
