Belated Wino Wednesday: Jack and Coke Cupcakes

So I decided to bring some boozy cupcakes to my friends at the wine tasting. I decided to go with boozy cupcakes, which are much-loved. Incidentally, as a result of these, I've been upgraded from "Cupcake Lady" to "Cupcake Goddess," at least according to Timothy.

Here's how to do it:
Preheat the oven to 350.
Pour 2 cups of Coca Cola into a saucepan and let it heat. You'll need it boiling soon.

Mix together in a bowl:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup unpacked dark brown sugar
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon each baking soda and baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Add:
1/2 c. canola or vegetable oil
1 c. milk
2 eggs

Add:
7/8 cup boiling Coca Cola
1/8 cup Jack Daniel's

Stir well. Put into lined cupcake tins. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.

Frosting:
Whip together 2 oz cream cheese and 2 tablespoons butter.
Beat in 2-3 cups of powdered sugar a bit at a time, alternating with cola, which should be syrupy now. I wound up using about 1/2 cup. After it's the texture you like, add half a shot of Jack Daniels. Garnish with tiny lime wedges.
