These are really muffins, but they are such a treat that they really seem like eating cake.  I actually tried to look up the differences between cupcakes and muffins and the easiest explanation is that cupcakes are cake (made with butter and sugar and beaten) and muffins are a quick bread.  But sometimes I think the line blurs, especially when your ‘muffins’ take a cup of sugar!!!   

To get the recipe, you need to go here  as I am not sure about the internet etiquette about putting someone else’s recipe’s in your own posts.      Now, I did reduce the sugar to 3/4 a cup and the white chocolate chips to 1/2 cup and I made a brown sugar streusel and so used a way less amount of sugar too and they were still plenty sweet probably because I had to add extra eggnog because my batter seemed a bit dry.

Enjoy!
