Coca-Cola Cupcakes a.k.a. Heaven

Well I figured I should post this recipe, because it is one of the best cupcakes I am currently making. Coca-cola cake is a big thing in the South. It is amazing. The coke does something so great to the cake. It is moist, it is fluffy. It might be the perfect cupcake. This is saying a lot, because in the process of this new endeavor, I have learned I am not big on chocolate cake. I thought I was, but apparently not so much. While my favorite cake is still the German Chocolate, most of the chocolate cupcakes I have made, I have not liked very much. I thought they were bad cupcakes, but other people love them. So apparently it is me. Anyways enough rambling, here is the Coca-Cola cupcake recipe, complete with Coca-Cola buttercream frosting:
