How to Make Kahlua And Orange Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and Kahlua, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  9. Beat in the sour cream, Kahlua, and orange zest until well combined.
  10. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the Kahlua Orange frosting. Enjoy!
