Haitian CupcakesEver had Haitian Cake before? Well this is just my personal rendition of a Haitian Cake that is cupcake style. I will admit upfront that there are some significant differences from an original Haitian Cake recipe. However, some of that distinctive flavor remains and the star of this recipe, Barbencourt Rum, is definitely still in the picture.
When I say that I have messed around with this recipe "a million times," I am not joking. I was nearly making batches every week until I found something I was happy with. At times they came out dry, other times like muffins, and other times super crumbly. Until one day, I hit the jackpot and it was perfect! But that day, I forgot to write down the measurements... Then I was back to square one. |

With time and perseverance, I finally present to you my personal version of a Haitian Cupcake. To make it even more spectacular, I top it off with a cream cheese frosting that compliments it so well. So if you decide to give this recipe a try, be sure to do the Cream Cheese Frosting along with it too! For your convenience, this recipe is posted as a video so please, enjoy!
