Coca Cola Cupcake with Coca Cola Frosting!

Yummmmm!!!

Sooooooo Coca Cola...

I wasn't quiet sure about the recipe at the start as the website looked quiet simple hence not so convincing... but it all turned out perfect!!! Trust and follow the recipe!!! I made half the portion of the recipe and it made 9 big cupcakes!!! But don't make the icing too early like me because it got dry and cold and became difficult to spread and sprinkles won't stick!!! But I overcame the problem by putting sugary water on the cupcakes (a brush would've been sooooo handy but too bad somebody's house doesn't have one >__<)!! Oh, it turned out fine without pecans too... (I wasn't quiet sure what they were...)

Note: when I read the recipe and it said they licked the frosting I was like ewwww... So fat and sweet... but I ended up doing it too. ><" It was soooo irresistable... sooo yummy... droolz...

Oh... the degrees... is not in celcius... so 162 Degree C!!! THANK YOU!!!

Coca Cola Cupcake Recipe

Ingredients

Part One

• 1 cup coca cola or other cola drink

• 1/2 cup butter (I used unsalted because it was 3 for $5...)

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 1/4 cup powdered cocoa

• 22 large marshmallows (Hehehe... I used the pink ones leftover from picking out the white ones to try making fondant with...)

Part two

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 2 cups sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking soda (bi-carb soda... I think I'm right...)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla (I used extract because they said the essence was the extract but diluted with other stuff...)

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 2 large eggs, beaten

Coca Cola Cupcake Recipe Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. These cupcakes work best with the silver metallic liners.

Part one

In a small saucepan mix cola, butter, vegetable oil and cocoa. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and add marshmallows. Place lid on saucepan and leave until marshmallows begin to melt. Stir well.

Part two

Mix flour, sugar, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well.

Combine Part One and Part Two in the mixing bowl. Spoon cupcake
batter into cupcake pan liners until they are 1/2 to 2/3 full.

Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool cupcakes completely before frosting with Coca Cola frosting.

Coca Cola Frosting
