Time 45m

Yield 16 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mint leaf, loosely packed
3/4 cup whole milk, hot
1/4 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 limes, grated zest of
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rum
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 teaspoons Midori melon liqueur
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat to 350°F.
  • Add mint leaves to hot milk. Let steep for 10-15 minutes. Pour milk through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Press liquid from mint leaves. Discard leaves and allow milk to cool slightly.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter on medium speed until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in lime zest, vanilla and rum.
  • On very low speed, add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk and ending with flour, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Fill cupcake liners half full. Bake until cupcakes spring back when touched, 18-20 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and cool completely.
  • In mixer with whisk attachment, whip the cream and sugar on high speed until thick. Add 3 tsp of midori liqueur and mix to combine.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely. Using a 1M piping tip, frost cupcakes. Garnish with lime slice and mint leaf.
