So today I was casually strolling around on my lunch hour browsing a book shop when I picked up the coca-cola cook book. I'd seen this come out a few years ago when everyone was talking about ham cooked in coca-cola, however back then the book came with a hefty price tag (well for the book world anyhow). Apparently now a days, this rather quirky little book can be picked up for £3! Which is less than my morning gingerbread lattes.
Flicking through the pages I noticed the cherry coke cupcakes and suddenly the book fell into my shopping basket. Somehow before the day was over I'd decided that what cherry coke cupcakes actually needs, is something a little more alcoholic, which has come in the form of Mr Daniels.
To make, you will need:
1 2/3 cups of plain flour
3 tablespoons of unsweetened coco powder
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking power
1/4 teaspoons of baking soda
3/4 teaspoon of salt
2/3 cups of caster sugar
2 lightly beaten eggs
2/3 cup of cherry coke
125g melted butter
(2 tablespoons of Jack Daniels)
Extras
Butter-cream frosting & cherry's to decorate
How to bake
- Pre-heat the over to 190c
- Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix.
- Create a well in the centre, add the eggs, cherry coke and whist together, gradually add the melted butter until smooth.
- Add the Jack Daniels and keep in mixing until you have a smooth thick batter.
- Spoon into muffin cases.
- Cook for 20-25 minuets until risen and firm.
- Decorate.
- For an additional kick add a little splash of Jack Daniels to the frosting.
Will you be trying the Jack Daniels and Cherry Coke cupcakes?
