Every time the New Year rolls around many of us enter the next year with high hopes and resolutions for change. ‘This year will be my year’, echoes in the air. From the chime of midnight on New Year’s Eve, we are suddenly a new, or at least so we like to think. But after the glamour of the evening wears off, and more importantly the prosecco, the possibility of those resolutions being successfully fulfilled suddenly seems less and less likely. Here’s what you’ll go through…

Prep time 20 mins
Cook time 22 mins
Total time 42 mins
Ingredients (serves: 12)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup eggnog
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 1/4 cup eggnog
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon rum (plus more for assembling)
Instructions
Make the Cupcakes:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°C/ 660°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. Mix all of the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) in a large bowl. With a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until soft and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs until just combined. Add in the vanilla. Alternate the dry ingredients with the eggnog in 3 additions (dry/eggnog/dry/eggnog/dry). Mix until just combined, and do not over-mix.
3. Divide the cake batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups. Bake until cupcakes are cooked through, a tester comes out clean, and the tops spring back when touched, about 20-22 minutes.
Make the frosting:
1. With a paddle attachment, cream the room temperature cream cheese and butter until combined. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, salt, and cinnamon and beat until fluffy. Add in the rum and eggnog. The frosting will be soft, so refrigerate for 2-4 hours before piping the cupcakes. (Can be made the day ahead.)
Assemble:
1. Using a toothpick or knife, poke several holes in the tops of the cupcakes. Pour some rum into a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, dip the brush into the rum and brush each cupcake generously with rum. Be sure to evenly brush the cupcake.
2. Frost the cupcakes and garnish with a cinnamon stick or with ground cinnamon. Enjoy!

Real talk here: NYE is over-rated. YES! It really is. But do we learn and start lowering down our expectations. Well, of course NOT. You would think that all those years consisting of bad experiences would teach us something. Yeah, right! Here’s a list of things you are probably expecting to happen this year, but the chances are in fact minimalistic.
Girl, it’s time to update your playlist. See what’s hot and what’s just dropped right this way…
