Instructions
Creating Grape Soda Cupcakes With Creamy Frosting is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the grape soda, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fill Cupcake Liners: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
6. Bake: Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed. Add heavy cream and beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
9. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a spatula to frost each cupcake generously with the creamy frosting.
10. Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, drizzle a bit of grape soda over the frosted cupcakes or sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
