Rum and Coke Cupcakes

The Cupcake

1 box butter recipe cake mix (or yellow)
1 3/4 oz. vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2c. vegetable oil
1 c. dark rum

The Rum Butter Glaze

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. rum


The Frosting

1/4 c. butter
4c. pwd sugar
2 tsp cola extract
rum (to taste and consistancy)

Bake

Preheat oven to 325.
Combine all ingredients and beat for 2 minutes.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.


Glaze

Melt butter, stir in 1/4 c. rum and sugar.
Boil for 5 minutes, remove from heat
Stir in 1/4 c. rum
I apply to cupcakes while warm with a basting brush.
Let sit and apply again... until mix is gone.
(The longer they sit, the more
the alcohol will seep throughout the cupcake)

Frost

Beat butter until fluffy, add cola extract, pwd sugar and rum.
again, to taste and consistancy.
I don't measure exactly when I make the frosting...

I garnish with a maraschino cherry.
