Higlander Grogg Filled Cupcakes

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!
Yippee to Kris of Big Rigs 'n Lil' Cookies

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup of cooled brewed Highlander Grogg Coffee
3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with paper liners.

Fold in the sour cream, extract and nuts.
Spoon the batter into muffin cups.
Bake for 16-18 minutes until tester comes out clean.
Cool.

Fill pastry bag and fill each cupcake with filling.

  1. 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.

    Thanks 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

  2. 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.

    Have a good weekend. xo Diana

  17. 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').
