Cola Cupcakes

September 1, 2015 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

I’ve personally tried several different cola inspired cupcakes in the past and nothing has really made me think ‘yeah I can taste a cola flavour here’. So I decided to come up with my own cola inspired recipe. Remember nothing can be more satisfying than the drink itself, but these spicy citrus flavours come close! Give it a go.

Also I’ve accompanied the cupcake with a whipped cream buttercream which bring it all together with a creamy cola-float feel. You can get the recipe for my whipped cream buttercream here.

Total time
50 mins
 
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 175g Plain Flour
  • 30g Cocoa
  • 2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 185g Caster Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 120ml Cola
  • 120ml Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice (second measure)
  • 100ml Oil
  • Rind of 1 Lemon
Instructions
  1. Flick the oven onto 170 degrees bake.
  2. In a large bowl sift all the dry ingredients together along with a pinch of salt.
  3. In a small jug measure the milk and add the first tablespoon of lemon juice. Set aside and leave to curdle for about 5-10 minutes. In essence you're making a nice tangy buttermilk.
  4. In a free-standing mixer add the eggs, vanilla, cola, oil, the curdled milk along with the final measure of lemon juice and lemon rind.
  5. Beat these wet ingredients until combined.
  6. On a low speed slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat again until smooth.
  7. Pour mixture into a measuring jug, then carefully fill paper case ⅔ the way full.
  8. Bake for between 16-20 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when touched.
  9. Cool and then ice with a swirl of whipped cream buttercream. Link to recipe above.
  10. For an added hit, just before serving sprinkling some cola flavoured popping candy over the buttercream (this can devolve, so make sure they are snapped up right away!)

Looking for this?

There’s always the demand to do things quicker, have more energy and live a little healthier. When it comes to baking or a little something sweet, we sometimes feel these same pressures. Luckily it doesn’t always have to be this way and occasionally we are allowed a little indulgence.
