Coke Float Cupcakes Recipes

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!

COKE FLOAT CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat together the cake mix and soda with an electric mixer on medium-low speed, about 2 minutes. You are ONLY mixing in the dry mix and the soda -- NOTHING else (no eggs, no oil, no water). Once combined, beat in the dram of Cola flavored oil or the Soda Stream Cola syrup to combine.
• Portion the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about ¾ of the way full. Bake for approx. 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, heavy cream, Cola oil and vanilla extract with the paddle attachment until creamy and combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, about a cup at a time, until frosting is light and fluffy.
• Pipe the frosting high onto cooled cupcakes; sprinkle with white non-pareils. Garnish with a patted-dry maraschino cherry and serve! *If you want the frosting high, like as shown in the photos, consider doubling your frosting recipe.*
