Comment préparer Mint Julep Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract.
Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup bourbon, and 1 tablespoon milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, alternating with the remaining dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup shortening with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, alternating with 2-4 tablespoons of milk, until desired consistency is reached.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 1 tablespoon bourbon.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them generously. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and green sprinkles.
