     Title: Chocolate Cupcakes w/Flaming Strawberries
Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Fruits
     Yield: 20 Cupcakes

MMMMM--------------------------CUPCAKES-------------------------------
   3/4 c  Unsweetened cocoa powder
 1 1/2 c  A-P flour
 1 1/2 c  Sugar
 1 1/2 ts Baking soda
   3/4 ts Baking powder
   3/4 ts Salt
     2 lg Eggs
   3/4 c  Hot water
   3/4 c  Heavy cream
     3 tb Neutral oil
     2 ts Vanilla extract

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
   1/2 lb Softened butter
     4 c  Confectioners' sugar
     4 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder;
          - sifted

MMMMM------------------------STRAWBERRIES-----------------------------
    20    Strawberries (1 per cupcake)
          Bacardi 151 rum

 CUPCAKES: Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 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.
