Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds)
- 1/4 cup brandy (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for the glaze)
- Christmas-themed sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
-
Fold in the dried fruits and nuts. If desired, soak them in brandy for added flavor beforehand.
-
Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with a small amount of water, adding more water as needed to achieve a drizzling consistency.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cupcakes and top with Christmas-themed sprinkles for decoration.
