The Dark and Stormy Cupcake is a sweet twist on the cocktail by the same name and this made-from-scratch treat is sure to be as big a hit as its namesake at your next party. The cream cheese frosting is rich and decadent with enough rum added for a robust flavor, but not so much that you need a designated driver. Embellished with crystallized ginger, the mild but distinctive flavor perfectly complements the moist cupcake and creamy frosting.
