Ooh... reader Carrie made some gorgeous cherry cola cupcakes with chocolate chips... a little like the yummy cherry chocolate cola cake in my book CHERRY CRUSH! Carrie shares her recipe here... you'd be crazy not to give it a go!
Cherry Cola Choc Chip Cupcakes
Cupcakes:
150g self raising flour
150g sugar
150g butter
3 medium eggs
100g dark choc chips
Cherry essence to taste - approx 1 teaspoon
icing:
100g butter
100g icing sugar
1 teaspoon Sainsbury's cola flavouring
Method:
To make the cupcake mixture, cream butter and sugar, add beaten eggs with a couple of tablespoons of flour to prevent curdling. Mix in rest of flour, choc chips and cherry essence. Divide between twelve cupcake cases in a muffin tray and bake at 180 degrees in a fan oven for about 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
To make the icing, cream butter and icing sugar gradually; mix in cola flavouring and swirl onto cupcakes. You can add a tiny bit of food colouring to the mix if you'd like a brightly coloured icing... Carrie used red; and you can decorate with sugar sprinkles, Smarties or chocolate curls... perfect!
Enjoy!

These sound like lush cupcakes
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds like Heaven! It sounds a LOT like heaven (Angel Cake joke!)! Next time I make cupcakes I'm hunting out the cola and cherry essences to add to my collection. I think the best cupcakes I ever made were my valentine's day cupcakes. They were red velvet oreo cupcakes with vanilla icing on top!
