Ingredients

The following ingredients have 22 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups Coca-Cola soda ((not diet or Coke zero))
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons Coca-Cola soda
  • ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line a standard muffin tin with cupcake wrappers
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Mix until combined and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine Coca-Cola, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir and heat up until the butter is all melted, and the sugar is dissolved. 4-5 minutes. Don’t make it boil. Let the mixture cool
  • Pour the cooled Coca-Cola mixture into a large mixing bowl.
  • *This step is important because if the Coca-Cola mixture is not cooled, when adding the eggs, you take a chance of the mixture to cook the eggs and the egg white will curdle
  • Add the eggs and mix.
  • Add the flour mixture to the Coca-Cola mixture, mix with a hand-mixer until all combined.
  • *NOTE* You can mix with a whisk, but you may have more lumps. I used a hand mixer.
  • Once all the flour is combined, stop, don’t over mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pans to about 2/3 full
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or when you insert a toothpick into the center and come out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely while making the Buttercream.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine butter and powdered sugar (1 cup at a time)
  • Mix in the Coca Cola and mix until combined.
  • Scoop the buttercream into a piping bag with a star tip nozzle.
  • *NOTE* You can use a Ziploc bag for piping as well
  • Pipe the buttercream on all the cupcakes.
  • Serve and enjoy.
