What do Coca-cola (yes, the drink), buttermilk, vanilla extract and cocoa powder have in common? Yes, you guessed right: these cupcakes. The batter also contains butter, sugar, flour, baking soda and eggs, so don’t be too put off by the addition of soda (or pop, depending on where you’re from) in the recipe. Add in the toasted meringue frosting (sugar, water, corn syrup, egg whites and sugar) and you have quite a tasty treat on your hands!

Coca-Cola Cupcakes with Toasted Meringue
Lemon Lime Meringue Cupcakes
Cupcakes are naturally and normally a sweet treat. But if you wish to put some contrasting flavor, using lime can do the trick. These Lemon Lime Meringue Cupcakes are easy to make—create the cupcakes, put in the lemon curd inside, and then spread the meringue on top and finish up with a blow torch to brown the top. Not only do the cupcakes taste good, the aroma also is as tempting.

Coffee Squared Cupcakes
Normally when you think of coffee cake, simple cinnamon layered cakes come to mind. These cupcakes will blow those expectations out of the water, as they contain both coffee and chocolate — both in the batter and in the frosting (well, the coffee part anyway.) The coffee’d batter starts with the addition of espresso powder and brewed hot coffee, plus dark cocoa and a little sour cream, among other ingredients. Adding a little “zing” is the vanilla bean latte swiss meringue buttercream frosting.
