Cherry Coke Cupcake Recipe
Ingredients
Yield: 11 cupcakes (true, a dozen would have been a nicer number, but the recipe didn’t quite make 12)
1 C cola
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 C sugar
1/3 C canola oil
2 tsp Kool Kola extract
1 1/3 C flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
44 maraschino cherries
Coke Frosting
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 C unsalted butter, room temperature
2 C powdered sugar (add more if you prefer a thicker frosting)
2 tsp Kool Kola extract
Method
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soda and vinegar and let stand for a few minutes.
Add in the sugar and oil, whisking vigorously until slightly frothy.
Mix in the Kool Kola extract, flour, baking powder, and baking soda until just combined.
Fill cupcake liners approximately 3/4 of the way to the top.
Drop 4 cherries with stems removed into each cupcake (I put them in a square pattern).
Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
Coke Frosting
Beat cream cheese and butter.
Slowly mix in powdered sugar until the mixture looks like frosting.
Mix in extract.
Spread or pipe on cooled cupcakes.
