first, a failure of sorts.
gabriel says they taste really good. but something went pretty wrong. the leavening worked out great, the cakes have a delicate crumb, and the flavor is faintly but not overpoweringly chocolatey. but they are really
delicate, falling apart or collapsing as i remove them from the pan. and something went funny with the marshmallows. so here they are: coke cupcakes.
a family friend's recipe.
with an electric mixer, combine:
1 c butter
2 c flour
1.75 c sugar
5 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 c buttermilk
1 c coke
When the ingredients are well combined, fold in 1.5 cups miniature marshmallows.
Bake in muffin tins :20 at 350 degrees fahrenheit.
the icing (yes, it's an alabama recipe, so of course there's icing):
beat together:
1/2 c butter
3 Tbsp cocoa
1/3 cup coke
1 pound confectioners sugar
then stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
spread icing on cooled cakes.
makes 24.
