Bourbon Cola Chocolate Cupcakes
If you’re a frequent visitor to this blog you will be well aware that I have a habit of baking with liquors or alcoholic beverages. Additionally, I have baked with soft drinks, even used melted ice-cream as the wet element in the cake batters. Cola has featured in my recipes before on this blog and bourbon in a few recipes. However, I have never used these ingredients in a recipe together. So after having a bourbon and cola mixed drink left over from pre-drinks I decided to use the pre-mixed can in a recipe. To add an extra layer to this I opted for an ingredient that I knew worked amazingly with both of these flavours, being, dark chocolate.
From here the bourbon cola chocolate cupcakes were born.
