Blitzen in a Cup – Made by Meghan

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!

Fun! Fun!

I’ve had a few requests to post a list of the cupcakes eaten or mentioned in the Dowser books with each new release. So, I thought I would dash off this blog post just in case anyone wanted to bake before – or while – they’re reading Dowser 5 (release date: July 23, 2015).

New Creations (recipes to come):

Vixen in a Cup – chocolate gingerbread cake with a salted caramel icing.

Blitzen in a Cup – a rich but airy chocolate cake that was heavy on the mocha and iced with eggnog buttercream.

Joy in a Cup – a simple buttercream-frosted lemon cake (Recipe will be posted – along with a giveaway – on the Reading Cafe on August 7, 2015).

Old favourites:

Charm in a Cup – lemon cake with strawberry buttercream

Love in a Cup – chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream

Buzz in a Cup – mocha fudge cupcake with mocha buttercream icing
