Cherry Coca Cola Coke Cupcakes Recipes

COCA-COLA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 24 standard muffin cups with paper liners.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer combine the Coca-Cola®, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
• With the mixer on low speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add in sour cream, mix until fully incorporated.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugar, flour, and baking soda.
• Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. The batter will be thin.
• Evenly divide batter amongst the prepared muffin wells.
• Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove pan to wire rack. Cool completely before removing from muffin tins.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter at medium-high speed for about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in powdered sugar. Once the powdered sugar is fully incorporated, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for an additional 5 minutes
• Add in vanilla, and maraschino cherry juice. Blend on low speed until moistened.
• Beat at medium-high speed until frosting is smooth and fluffy; about 2 minutes.
• Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until very hot, but not boiling.
• Place chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. Whisk the cream and chocolate until smooth. Whisk in the honey and vanilla. Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Do not let the glaze sit for too long or it will harden up before you spoon it over the frosting.
• Spoon the glaze on the tops of the frosted cupcakes, allowing it to drip down the sides a little bit. Don't add too much glaze or it will drip all over your liners.
• If desired, top each cupcake with a stemmed maraschino cherry.
• Store cupcakes in the refrigerator. Remove them to room temperature one hour before serving.

COCA COLA CHOCOLATE CHERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside. Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer, beating on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add the egg and beat for one more minute. In another small bowl, combine the buttermilk, Coke, and vanilla extract. Allow time for the foam to go go down when measuring the Coke. Your mixture might look curdled when you add the buttermilk. That's normal.
• Beginning with the flour mixture, add in small parts to the butter mixture, alternating with the Coke mixture. Beat each addition just until incorporated.
• Divide the batter evenly between the muffins tins. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled, use a small sharp knife to cut out a cone shape in the middle of each cupcake. Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling (2 to 3 cherries) to the well.
• Beat the heavy whipping cream in a chilled bowl with whisk attachment (or hand mixer), beginning on low speed. I like to place my mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for a few minutes before mixing. Once the cream gets frothy begin adding the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, increasing speed as the cream comes together until you reach medium-high speed. Whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks (if you dip a spoon in it, the whipped cream should stay on the spoon when you turn it upside down). Pipe the whipped cream onto cupcakes as desired and top with maraschino cherries for garnish. Enjoy!

CHERRY COKE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray, then line with parchment and spray the parchment.
• Combine the cake mix and pudding mix in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed to blend. With the mixer still running, add the egg whites, cherry cola and vegetable oil and mix until combined. Raise the speed to medium and mix until increased in volume, lighter in color and smooth, about 5 minutes. Fold in the maraschino cherries. Divide the batter between the prepared baking pans; smooth into even layers using an offset spatula.
• Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool in the pans, about 10 minutes, then turn out onto racks and let cool completely, about 1 hour.??
• For the frosting: Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter and salt together in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on low speed until well blended, then increase the speed to high and whip until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the maraschino cherry liquid and continue to whip until bright pink and spreadable. Add the chopped cherries and mix on low speed until evenly distributed.
• Using a serrated knife and sawing in long, even strokes, carefully halve the cake layers horizontally. Place 1 layer, cut-side up, on a platter or cake stand; spread 1 1/2 cups frosting on top. Stack another cake layer on top and spread another 1 1/2 cups frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining 2 cake layers, then cover the top and sides with a thin layer of frosting (this is the crumb coat) and use a bench scraper or large offset spatula to smooth out the sides and top (it's okay if some cake shows through). Refrigerate 15 minutes, then add another 1/2-inch layer of frosting to the top of the cake and smooth out to make a perfectly flat top. Refrigerate until ready to cover with ganache.
• For the ganache: Meanwhile, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until beginning to boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is completely smooth and the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes, then pour over the chilled cake so that the top is completely coated and chocolate drips decoratively down the sides. Let set at room temperature 30 minutes, then top with the whole cherries in the center of the cake and serve.

CHERRY COCA-COLA (COKE) CUPCAKES

Steps:

• To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4. Place 12 cupcake liners into a muffin pan and set aside. Beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix the cola and the buttermilk together in a jug. In a bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) together. Pour about a third of the cherry coke and buttermilk mixture into the creamed butter and sugar, the sieve in about a third of the flour, cocoa powder, soda mix and stir well. Repeat this process until all ingredients are added and stir until blended and smooth. Taste test the batter. If you feel the cherry cola flavour needs a little lift, add a few drops of both the cherry and cola extract/flavouring until desires taste is reached. Pour into each cupcake liner to about ½ to ¾ full and bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer comes out clean, then remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the frosting, cream the butter with the icing sugar adding the cherry coca-cola a little at a time until smooth and creamy. Again, taste test the frosting. If you feel the cherry cola flavour needs a little lift, add a few drops of both the cherry and cola extract/flavouring until desires taste is reached. To decorate, use a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe swirls onto each cupcake. Top off with a fresh cherry.
