Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings Cupcakes: 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix 1 ½ cups eggnog 4 eggs ¼ cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon nutmeg Frosting: 1 cup eggnog 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ¼ cup butter ¼ cup shortening 1 cup white sugar Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners. Stir yellow cake mix, 1 1/2 cups eggnog, eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, and nutmeg together in a bowl until batter is smooth. Pour cupcake batter into prepared muffin cups to fill about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely. Stir 1 cup eggnog and flour together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Beat butter, shortening, and sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly beat in cooled eggnog mixture and beat until desired frosting consistency is reached. Spread frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Cook's Note: For a sweeter frosting, substitute 2 to 3 cups confectioners' sugar for the 1 cup white sugar.
