OOEY GOOEY TOFFEE CAKE

I got this recipe from a Disney blog that has recipes from restaurants all over Disneyland, especially Epcot, where each "country" has employees/chefs that are actually from that country and make amazing authentic food! This is not one of those. 

COCA COLA CUPCAKES WITH BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

My friend has this odd obsession with Coke. It's kinda ridiculous- maybe obsession is the wrong word... more like addiction. Well I am only fueling the fire with these Coca Cola Cupcakes. Since it is finals week he has been under some stress with studying so I decided to make him a treat to help him cope. I think it may just be a girl thing to want sweets, chocolate, and tons of food when under stress but maybe a guy might appreciate it as well! Either way I know he can't turn these down. I included 4 Coca Colas in the pretty glass bottles- the ones from Mexico that are made with real sugar! (I am not a soda fan but all my soda drinking friends tell me it is a lot better than American coke).

I got this recipe from an Australian blog, Grab Your Fork and made a few adjustments.
