Equipment

  • Oven
  • Muffin tin
  • Stand or hand mixer

Ingredients

For the cupcakes

  • cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • tablespoons cannabis butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup pink moscato

For the frosting

  • 1 cup pink moscato
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract just until combined.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together 1/2 cup pink moscato and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt.
  • With the mixer on low, alternate adding the flour mixture and moscato mixture. Then, mix until batter is smooth.
  • Fill baking cups about 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer cupcakes to a cooling rack, and allow them to cool to room temperature before frosting.

For the frosting

  • Simmer 1 cup of pink moscato over medium heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream cheese and softened butter together until well combined and fluffy.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract. Then, add the powdered sugar and reduced moscato together. Mix well.
  • Frost the cupcakes and decorate if desired.

Notes

For an extra boozy kick, you can brush the cupcakes with moscato before frosting. Poke each cupcake with a toothpick a few times to help the moscato soak in.
To make a pinker frosting, add a drop of red food dye to the frosting.
