4 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder;
- sifted
MMMMM-----------------------STRAWBERRIES-----------------------------
20 Strawberries (1 per cupcake)
Bacardi 151 rum
Cupcakes:
Set oven @ 350 F/175 C.
Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and set aside.
Sift together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and
salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, water, heavy cream, oil, and
vanilla. Mix with a hand held mixer until smooth.
Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each half full. Bake for
20 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
Frosting:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, cream
together sugar, cocoa, and butter; beginning on low speed then
increase to high. Beat until fluffy and lightened in color.
Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip.
Frost cupcakes.
Strawberries:
Hollow the strawberries carefully. If you pierce the side of the
strawberry accidentally, start with a new one. Since you'll be
setting the liquor aflame, it is important that the strawberry is
leak-proof.
Set one strawberry atop each frosted cupcake. Fill strawberries
with liquor just before lighting. If you need to light them all at
once, (say, for a party) use a turkey baster to quickly fill all
the strawberries and a grill lighter in lieu of matches.
