Coca Cola Cupcakes

Yield: 24 cupcakes
Pre heat oven to 350
Suggestion: Use room temperature eggs

2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups small marshmallows***** Leave out and drop in each cupcake*****
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup Coca-Cola®
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I added everything in a mixer and poured ingredients into a mixing bowl, except the marshmallows.
Cut/tear marshmallow in 4 pieces and drop in the tops of the cupcakes.
Bake approx 20 minutes, check with toothpick.

Icing:

You can use a can of ready whipcream, add only when ready to serve as it will melt.

Coca Cola Buttercream icing:
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons Coca-Cola
1 box (16 ounces) confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans

For frosting, combine butter, cocoa and Coca-Cola in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and pour over confectioners' sugar, blending well. Add vanilla extract and pecans. Spread over cupcakes. Serve with a coke!

NOTE: Nuts are optional and you can use shortening instead of butter as it will hold better.
