Blitzen in a Cup is one of my most requested cupcake recipes, but when I first tried to make them – easily five or six years ago – Michael didn’t think they tasted like coffee or eggnog, just chocolate and butter, so I shelved the recipe.
Move forward to the upcoming release of Gemstones, Elves, and Other Insidious Magic (Dowser 9) during the ‘eggnog’ season and Blitzen in a Cup felt like the perfect recipe to release alongside the book. So more tweaking and test baking went into the cupcake combo, and Michael finally gave them a thumbs up.
The recipe will also be featured on the Dowser 9 recipe card (the ones going into the swag boxes are already on order) and I will update the Dowser Series cookbook PDF as well. I’ll add a link to the newest edition of the cookbook in my new release newsletter on December 4, 2018 (so make sure you are subscribed).
Without further ado, Blitzen in a Cup! Chocolate, and coffee, and eggnog. Oh, my!
As always I’d love to see your pictures if you decide to bake Blitzen in a Cup (or any of the Dowser series cupcakes). Please tag me on your preferred social media site. I’m @MeghanCianaDoidge on Facebook and Instagram. And @mcdoidge on Twitter.
Fun! Fun!
Anxiously awaiting Dowser 9. Got my pre-order and my crocheting to get me thru! Thanks for helping me escape into a fun world when this one gets to be a bit too much!
Thank you for reading!! Writing the books is my escape as well.
Oh this looks yummilicious! Cannot wait to bake for a holiday gathering! Waiting for D9 is a Herculean task for me, hopefully this will get me through! Thank you so much for all you do
So close now! Next Tuesday!!
Oooohhhh, I love eggnog, but generally avoid sugary desserts…will be making an exception for this one…and almost release day for D9! Woot woot!
And it sounds like they are even better a couple of days later or from the freezer, Becky. So you can consume them slowly. 😊
