With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, I thought I’d share this kid-friendly, super moist, super easy to make, Irish Cream chocolate cupcake with you. It’s good. I mean, really good. The chocolate cupcake is the moistest cupcake you’ll ever make, and the frosting is so light and fluffy and has the perfect hint of Irish Cream. I used two kinds of Bailey’s coffee creamer to make two different frostings, one Irish Cream, and the other hazelnut. Both were delicious!
Wishing you and your family the most blessed of new years, and a 2012 filled with all things sweet!

Whisk in the flour mixture until very well-combined.
