Coca-Cola Cupcakes!

Let me start off by saying, even if you don't like Coca-Cola, DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM THIS CUPCAKE.

Seriously. You cannot taste the Coca-Cola in the cupcake and this recipe is my favorite chocolate cupcake ever. I love this cupcake and I don't even like cake or cupcakes.

Yep, you heard me. I do not like cake/cupcakes (told you I was a picky eater.)

But seriously, you NEED to make these.

What you see in the picture above is not the first time I've made this recipe. That being said, I had a huge problem with frosting this time around. I strayed away from the recipe and tried making a new kind of frosting which ended up failing. So, I tried another frosting that I had never made before (the frosting you see above.) I have to say, this frosting did not wow me as I thought it would. Therefore, I'm not going to include the recipe for frosting but any standard buttercream recipe will do (or chocolate frosting, whatever works.)
