Description

Ingredients

• *for the cupcakes*
• ½ cup {1 stick} unsalted butter
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup Coca Cola
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tbsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• *for the frosting*
• 1 cup {2 sticks} unsalted butter, softened
• 3-4 tbsp Coca Cola
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 5-6 cups powdered sugar
• pinch of salt

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two muffin pans with cupcake liners.
• In a large pot, combine the butter, oil, and Coke and heat on medium-high until butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil.
• Whisk in the sugar, mixing until melted, then mix in the flour and baking soda.
• Remove from heat, then add in the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add in the cocoa, milk, vinegar, salt, and vanilla.
• Divide the batter evenly between 30 cupcakes. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cupcakes are no longer jiggly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let cool completely before frosting.
• When ready to frost, beat the butter using a hand mixer until its smooth and creamy. Add in two cups of the powdered sugar and beat in, then add the Coke and vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
• Add in the remaining sugar, about a half cup at a time, until frosting is stiff enough to be piped. You might not need all the sugar! If the frosting is too stiff, you can add another small bit of Coke.
• Decorate as desired, and top with Coca Cola gummies and straws!
