| Guava Cupcake with Rum Butter Glaze |
Guava Cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Cloves
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine (softened)
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
3/4 cup Guava Puree
Makes 12 cupcakes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
Combine flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and baking soda in a bowl. Set aside. In another bowl cream butter and sugar. Once light and fluffy add eggs one at a time. Alternately between flour mixture and guava puree, combine with butter and sugar mixture.
Spoon cupcake batter into cupcake liners until it is 2/3 filled. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool 5 minutes in pans then remove and place on wire racks to cool completely. Once cupcakes are completely cooled, frost with Rum Butter Glaze.
Rum Butter Glaze:
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1/4 cup Butter
1 tbs Nassau Royale (or whatever rum available)
1 tbs Vanilla
1 tbs Guava Puree
In a mixing bowl mix all ingredients until smooth.
