Eggnog seems to be one of those polarizing things. You either love it or you hate it. After spending most of my childhood on the fence and feeling unsure, I now definitely love it. I mean, not so much I drink glasses and glasses of it, but enough that I look forward to enjoying it during the holidays. I also look forward to finding other ways to use it, particularly in baked goods. These cupcakes are not new to the blog, but this year I decided to revamp them slightly and make a sturdier frosting to top them. If you are in the “yea eggnog” camp, you will like these cupcakes. The cake is light and fluffy, and the creamy eggnog frosting is the perfect compliment. I’m really happy with the updated version and thought I would share for those of you who can’t get enough of this seasonal treat!
