Recipe Notes: these cupcakes are adapted from Baking Bites, via Annie's Eats - I changed the recipe considerably, altering the method, increasing the amount of flour, and adding an egg, among other things. The texture of my cupcakes was light, moist, and tender, and the flavor absolutely spot-on. However, the tops of my cupcakes sank slightly when they came out of the oven, so I may try a little more levening next time, or adding a splash of vinegar to help the baking soda do it's thing.

These cupcakes are very lightly spiked with rum - the flavor is very faint in the cake itself, and can be adjusted in the frosting to taste.
