Coca Cola Cupcakes

Coca Cola Cupcakes:

This was a fun recipe to make but OMG! this recipe is MASSIVE! 24 Texas muffin tin sized cupcakes so if you have a heap of people coming over or have an extra hungry husband this is the recipe for you. As most of you know i don't actually like cake that much, i just like to make cupcakes for fun as they are just so cute and i love to give them away however I'm gonna have to get creative as to how I'm gonna get rid of this batch of cakes as there is just a few too many for my husband to take to the office!

Husband verdict: "nice, good takes like coke"


2 cups of sugar
2 cups of plain flour
1 1/2 cups of marshmallows ( i use the ones you get in the baking section)
125g Butter
1/2 cup of vege oil
3 tablespoons of cocoa
1 cup of Coca Cola
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

preheat oven to 180 degrees and line your muffin tins with 24x patty cases (this is a large recipe)
In an electric mixer bowl sift sugar and flour then add the marshmallows
In a saucepan mix butter, oil , cocoa and Coca Cola bring to the boil then pour over dry ingredients mix well
Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk just before adding to the mixture along with eggs and vanilla
mix well
place batter in cupcake cases then pop in the oven - they should take about 15Min's or so to cook


Coca Cola Butter cream Frosting:

250g butter
500g icing sugar
4 tablespoons of coke

Beat butter till light and fluffy
add in icing sugar, beat some more
then slowly add the coke and give it another good beat

pipe to your hearts content - caution this is a yummy frosting
As you can see in the picture my frosting has a bit of pink in it - i was just having a bit of a play, i striped some food colouring down the inside of my piping bag ... it kinda worked ;)
