Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 200C and line a cupcake tin with paper cases.

In a saucepan, gently heat the butter and Coca Cola until the butter has melted - then leave to cool.

Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa together in a bowl and then add the cooled Coke and butter mix, followed by the sugar, eggs and milk.

Mix together until smooth.

Divide the mixture between the cases and bake for 25-30 mins.

Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.

To make the Cola frosting, cream the butter in a bowl.

Sift the cocoa powder and icing sugar together and mix a little at a time into the butter, alternating with additions of the Coca cola.

Beat to give a nice smooth frosting, and then beat in the vanilla extract.

Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and decorate with popping candy and fizzy cola bottles!
