Peach Schnapps Cupcakes Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Make the cupcakes:  With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Gradually add eggs and beat until well incorporated. Add orange essence. Mix together flour and baking powder. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the batter. Pour batter into lined cupcake pans and bake for 20 to 22 minutes.

Make the frosting: With an electric mixer, cream together butter and confectioners' sugar until blended. Add milk and Peach Schnapps. Mix well. Pipe frosting generously on top of baked cupcakes. Substitution tip: Can't find buttermilk or buttermilk powder? Use plain yogurt or sour cream instead.
