Ingredients
Cake
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 4 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- Add the butter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add in the apple cider while mixing on low speed.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Beat on low speed until just combined.
- Place in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the center cupcakes comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
- Gradually add in 2 cups of powdered sugar while beating on low speed until smooth. Add up to 1 cup of additional powdered sugar to get the desired pipeable consistency.
- Add the frosting to a disposable piping bag fitted with the Wilton 1M piping tip and pipe swirls of frosting on the top of each cooled cupcake.
Notes
- • Store in an airtight container on the counter for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. • These cupcakes are extremely moist and fluffy but if you like some additional texture you can add 1⁄2 cup of finely chopped apples or walnuts to the batter. • Drizzle caramel over the frosting for caramel apple cider cupcakes • Do not use apple juice for this recipe, it will have a completely different flavor. • You can use store-bought cream cheese frosting to save time.
