Highlander Grogg Filled Cupcake
My favorite flavored coffee is Highlander Grogg. A Wisconsin coffee company Berres Brothers Coffee Roasters shared the following recipe in a newsletter I receive.
This was the first time for me to make a filled cupcake.
We will celebrate the winners of the Think Snow giveaway with a cupcake!

Oh, that cupcake looks so tempting. I love nuts in my baking but my grandson has developed an allergy to nuts and peanuts so when he come I don't add the nuts or peanuts to my baking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipe. I don't have your brand of coffee but I'm suer any brand would work as well.
I still haven't tried popping the giant corn kernel. They don't really look giant but are larger thanthe regular popping corn.
I'll let you know how they are when I decide to pop some.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Julia
OMGoodness! Something for a real coffee lover like me....now...if only I hadn't sworn off sugar and white flour. Well, have an extra cupcake or two for me, will you? I do like that coffee brand, too...but I only do unflavored coffees--except I might add a bit of sugar-free vanilla syrup to it when I am out and about.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend. xo Diana

Looks amazin' - but rich! Highlander grogg needs investigating - grog is a type of rum, I thought. And the only Highlands I know stick to whisky (without the 'e').
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I might want a scoop of coffee ice cream with it!
ReplyDeleteThat is one delicious looking cupcake...oh my goodness! I would have gobbled down the entire cupcake in under 1 second...LOL. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will try not to make them, but I can't make any promises...LOL Love and hugs! Hope your year is off to a great start!

All the best Jan
