When I went to Miami in April, I had one of the best mojitos ever. It was perfectly limey, perfectly minty, perfectly rummy, perfectly sweet, perfectly tart and generally perfect.
It was so good that as I lay on the beach I kept thinking how wonderful it would be to capture the taste of that perfect mojito in cake form, or cookie form, or muffin form, or pie form, or custard form, or … cupcake form!
Yes!
Suddenly the idea of a mojito cupcake flitted into my head and I was consumed by it.
Until I had another mojito and went out to partake in Miami’s famous nightlife.
Let’s just say the mojito cupcake was quickly forgotten.
But as often happens in the life of an amateur baker, a baking idea lost in one place will be born again somewhere else. And so it was that the mojito cupcake returned to me when I read that Mary of the elegant and lovely Alpineberry had chosen Tropical Paradise as the theme for the 33rd instalment of Sugar High Friday.
The life of my mojito cupcake began with a cake that I have come to adore, as have many of my family members and friends who regularly make this cake. You may already be familiar with it as it made its rounds in blog world a few years ago. I’m talking about the now famous Rum Butter Cakes from the blog Gastronome.
Rather than making one bundt cake, as I usually do, I made 30 mini cupcakes and one cake in a loaf pan. For the cupcakes, I altered the rum syrup by infusing it with lime zest and mint, as both lime and mint are key components of the mojito.
After letting the syrup soak into the warm cupcakes, I let them cool completely, and then topped them with a frosting made of cream cheese, butter, icing sugar, loads of lime zest and a healthy dash of rum.
I could have stopped there but wanted to add another “tropical” angle so I made a batch of macadamia nut crackle from a recipe from Food & Wine. I topped each with cupcake with a bit of the crackle.
Now my mojito cupcakes were ready to meet the world.
My taste testers were some very discerning people, indeed. Included were Mama Cream Puff (back from Italy!), Uncle S, Uncle N, my little cousin D and my neighbour who is one of the very best home bakers that I know.
The reaction was unanimous: the mojito cupcake was spectacularly successful! While it wasn’t quite as boozy as its liquid counterpart, it did a good job of capturing all the flavours of one of my very favourite summer libations.
I’m so excited about this cupcake, that I’m going to add it to my repertoire of baked goods for my burgeoning business experiment. Hopefully the orders for this cupcake will start rolling in.
Ciao!
Mojito Cupcakes with Macadamia Nut Crackle
Adapted from various sources (see above).Note: This recipe yielded 30 mini cupcakes and one loaf baked in a 9 x 5-inch pan. You can also bake this in a standard 10- or 12-cup Bundt pan, as the original recipe indicates. Of course you can also adapt it to fit whatever pan or vessel you choose.
The frosted cupcakes should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep for a few days. The unfrosted cupcakes or cake can be stored, well-covered, at room temperature and will stay fresh for a few days.
People often ask me where I find the tiny party cups that I use to make mini cupcakes. I buy mine from my local bulk food store, but you should be able to find them at any well-stocked kitchen store, cake decorating supply store or party supply store.
For the cupcakes:
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 tbsp. dark rum
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperaturePreheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a rack in the centre of the oven. If you’re making the entire recipe as mini cupcakes, put 60 mini party cups on two baking sheets (30 on each one - you will then have to have two racks in your oven to bake both sheets of cupcakes at the same time. Put one if the top third of the oven and one in the bottom third. Rotate the trays halfway through baking). If you’re only making half the recipe as mini cupcakes, then put 30 mini party cups on a baking sheet and then butter and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan to bake the remainder of the batter as a loaf.
Combine the buttermilk, rum and vanilla extract. Set aside.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift and then set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 4 to 5 minutes).
Reduce the speed to low, and add the eggs one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
With the mixer still on low speed, add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix well.
Add half of the buttermilk mixture and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Mix for a minute or two.
Add another third of the dry ingredients (on low speed) and mix well.
Add the remainder of the buttermilk mixture, once again scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Mix for another minute or two.
Add the remainder of the dry ingredients (on low speed) and mix for a minute or two, until the batter is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure that all of the flour has been incorporated.
Fill the mini party cupcakes halfway with batter until you’ve used it all up. If you’re only making 30 mini cupcakes, then fill the 30 cups and pour the rest of the batter into the loaf pan.
Bake the mini cupcakes for 25 minutes and then test for doneness by inserting a cake tester into the centre of the cupcakes. If it comes out clean, they’re done. If not, bake for another 5 minutes. In my oven, the mini cupcakes took about 28 minutes.
If you’re also baking the loaf, that will require more time. In my oven, the loaf took about 50 minutes.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cook for 5 minutes before poking holes in them with a skewer or toothpick. Immediately spoon the rum syrup over the warm cupcakes and let them soak it all up. Once they’ve cooled completely, you can ice them with the lime and rum frosting.
For the rum syrup:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup dark rum
2 or 3 pieces of lime zest
a few sprigs of fresh mintIn a small pot, combine the sugar, water and butter over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often.
Once the butter has completely melted and the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat.
Carefully add the rum. The mixture will bubble and spurt so take care not to burn yourself.
Once you’ve mixed in all the rum, add the lime zest and mint and let the syrup infuse for 5 minutes before spooning over the cupcakes.
For the lime and rum frosting (this will frost 30 mini cupcakes - if you’re making 60 then you will have to double the recipe):
1 8-oz. package cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup butter (1-1/2 sticks), at room temperature
1 cup icing sugar
2 tbsp. dark rum
zest of 3 limesIn the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and butter at high speed for 5 minutes.
Reduce the speed to low and add the icing sugar. Mix for a minute to incorporate the sugar and then increase the speed to high again and mix for another minute or two. The frosting should be light and fluffy.
Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the rum and the lime zest and mix at medium speed until well incorporated.
The frosting should be used immediately so make it once your cupcakes have soaked up the syrup and are cool. You can spoon the icing on with an offset spatula or knife, or you can use a piping bag to pipe a pretty design.
For the macadamia nut crackle:
Please follow the directions for this garnish, which is from Food & Wine’s site. The recipe is located here.

I LOVE mojitos! Once again.. another example of how we are meant to be sisters.
This cupcake looks so good.. SO GOOD, Ivonne. I love that you got all the flavors into one lil cupcake - and they are beautiful as well.
You never cease to impress me!!
xoxo
07/22/07 at 8:05 pm
I love the new look of the website but as for the cupcakes? I think I’d prefer the cocktail version to be honest, except if anyone was going to convert me to cupcakes it would be someone like you!
07/22/07 at 8:34 pm
Wow what a wonderful cupcake flavour. I’d settle for either cupcake or drink.
07/22/07 at 9:34 pm
Wonderful, I especially love the brittle…very cool touch.
07/22/07 at 11:01 pm
Sadly, I’ve never had a mojito… though these cupcakes do sound and look really good
07/23/07 at 12:00 am
What an absolutely fabulous creation Ivonne! I love how you were able to really capture the mojito flavors. And the macadamia nut brittle is the perfect crowning glory.
07/23/07 at 12:12 am
I love mojitos too! But trust you to make a baked version of a drink. I could hug you for this one!
07/23/07 at 12:44 am
Oh my goodness…must make these to add to my list of all things mojito! I am currently perfecting a mojito cheesecake. It is an obsession :o)
07/23/07 at 1:54 am
Your cupcakes look just perfect! I bet they taste wonderful…
07/23/07 at 3:13 am
I love mojitos and I bet these would be great in a totally different way. I can’t wait to try it!
07/23/07 at 4:01 am
A deliciously different way to approach a cupcake! And it looks so enticing..love the swirl with the brittle!
Ronell
07/23/07 at 5:02 am
Have not tried mojitos but the cupcakes looks luvly..indeed will taste yummy too.
07/23/07 at 5:49 am
I am defentally going to try this recipie !!I am also a big fan of the Mojito …Living in key West for the past 21 years I have tried a few !!!but upon my recient move to the West Coast of Florida..I tried a new restaurant reciently & they used a( good) coconut rum in their mojito !!!it was scrumptious…something to think about …perhaps a little coconut in your topping…Palmer
07/23/07 at 6:26 am
I love a mojito (or 3) and these look like the perfect painless way to indulge!
07/23/07 at 7:23 am
All I can say is WOW!
07/23/07 at 7:57 am
My husband just tried to make a mojito for the first time about 2 weeks ago and it was not good. I will have to show him your creation. I bet these were fantastic.
07/23/07 at 9:47 am
Ivonne - WOW! I, too, like mojitos, but I would not have thought about adapting them to a cake mixture (obviously I missed the rounds in the blogosphere a few years ago). I love all your touches - especially the 2 Tb (!) of rum in the icing to send the message home. Wonderful execution, as always, darling.
07/23/07 at 10:22 am
Sign me up! Do you deliver to New York City?
07/23/07 at 10:51 am
Inventive and beautiful!
07/23/07 at 11:04 am
These are some of the best looking cupcakes I have seen!
07/23/07 at 1:57 pm
Ivonne
You seem always able to make the old new again and twice as beautiful. I love the brittle but I know all the pieces come together as so much more.
Did you save me one?
07/23/07 at 2:07 pm
Inspired recipe and execution. Glad to hear that business is burgeoning!
07/23/07 at 2:33 pm
Mojito cupcakes. Urp! Yum!
07/23/07 at 3:05 pm
OK Ivonne, I am bowing down to you now! These are so spectacular. I admit that i have never had a mojito (I’m dreadfully out of step…) but have heard of its virtue & the idea of the flavors- heavenly. Pure inspirations-
07/23/07 at 4:54 pm
oooh, these are totally my kind of cupcakes!
speaking of mojitos, i could definitely use one right now and for the impeding heatwave we’re supposed to be getting shortly!
07/23/07 at 6:30 pm
You have really out done yourself on this one! Well done!
07/23/07 at 6:49 pm
Mmm…I love mojitos - it looks like you’ve captured the taste perfectly!!
07/23/07 at 10:59 pm
Oh yeah!!! I am at the neighbor’s house on her computer so I could access your site, still having issue swith mine…and I am making her Key Lime tarts, but we are having Mojitos…I kid you not!!! It is really late here and I should get my behind home. Gorgoeus Ivonne, you outdid yourself!
07/24/07 at 4:49 am
What a combination Ivonne. I would rather be drunk on your cupcakes than a drink.
07/24/07 at 9:01 am
You’re sending me back to Cuba with these! I love them.
07/24/07 at 9:48 am
I just found your website and I think it’s wonderful. The recipes look so delicious and I love you photography!
07/24/07 at 9:49 am
These look great Ivonne! I recently had basil mojitos and they were uniquely out of this world!! I bet they would make a nice cupcake flavor too!
07/24/07 at 9:57 am
So weird! I just read about mojito cupcakes somewhere else today too. It’s the day of mojito cupcakes and yours look AMAZING! As always, love your creations. Very original with the brittle too! Go Ivonne!
07/24/07 at 12:45 pm
can’t wait to try these.
must report on an interesting discussion recently: I was at a lovely luncheon where we were discussing blogs and one of the very best bakers I know said: “Do you know Cream Puffs in Venice? I love that one.” Of course I had to echo the love fest. Now everyone at our table is checking out this splendid site.
07/24/07 at 1:40 pm
I think I’m getting a sugar high just from looking at the photo! Talk about tempting. Maybe cupcakes like this were hanging on the Tree in Eden eh?
07/24/07 at 1:46 pm
These cupcakes looks ‘muy bonito’! I’d be interested to try them …just send some my way ;).
07/24/07 at 3:27 pm
um, Ivonne… WOW. these are quite the endeavor. they are wonderful and creative and on par with the wonderful cupcakes over at Cupcake Bakeshop. you really outdid yourself here!
07/24/07 at 8:45 pm
Perfectly lovely little cupcakes
07/24/07 at 8:56 pm
Fabulous idea, Ivonne; those are some yummy-sounding cupcakes! I love the new look of your site, too — it looks just like you.
07/25/07 at 2:26 am
wow… interessanti queste cupcake! Sembra che tutti usino il macha adesso… io non l’ho ancora provato.
Ciao.
07/25/07 at 3:18 am
Woweeeee Creampuff!
You are a superstar Ivonne, not only do you like living it up after a few Mojitos but you managed to make a cupcake out of my fave cocktail. Im not a huge drinker and although I extend to Champers or Cava I do love the odd Mojito. You devil, you!!

07/25/07 at 6:13 am
Ivonne, we are huge fans of the mojito in this house, and this is absolutely genius!! What isn’t improved, after all, in cupcake form?!
07/25/07 at 6:14 am
Oh. Martinis wouldn’t be very good cupcakes. But a Bloody Mary could make a great muffin!
07/25/07 at 11:57 am
Great idea… I can see how creative you’ve turned after reading you for so long… congrats!!

07/25/07 at 6:11 pm
Mojito cupcakes? Are you kidding? You’re a freak’in GODESS! Seriously…
07/26/07 at 8:39 am
Mojito cupcakes! You’re a genius. I’m drooling! My friend Caroline loves mojitos, I can’t wait to make these for her.
Thanks!
07/27/07 at 12:02 pm
Dear Ivonne, one more time, everything looks so good and so pretty… Wonderful !
08/1/07 at 2:54 pm
Wow, Ivonne, these are truly amazing! I got promoted at work today, so I made these last night for the party today, and everyone LOVED them! I added white chocolate to the cake and frosting, because I love love love me some white chocolate, and it really enhanced the yummy flavors. Everyone liked that they were not overly sweet, and the frosting had that nice cream cheese flavor. Next time, I’ll add a lot more mint, though, I was stingy with my mint, and I could tell (other’s couldn’t, but that was probably because they didn’t know what to expect). I’m going home empty-handed (which is a GOOD thing!) thanks to your wonderful recipe… which I’ve shared with all my co-workers!
08/3/07 at 6:20 am
Ivonne,
You amaze me with your talent and inspire me everyday! I’m so glad to be a daring baker! I can’t wait to try out the recipe!
08/3/07 at 11:39 pm
