         Title: Chocolate Cupcakes w/Flaming Strawberries   
    Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Fruits   
         Yield: 20 Cupcakes   
       
   MMMMM--------------------------CUPCAKES-------------------------------   
       3/4 c  Unsweetened cocoa powder   
     1 1/2 c  A-P flour   
     1 1/2 c  Sugar   
     1 1/2 ts Baking soda   
       3/4 ts Baking powder   
       3/4 ts Salt   
         2 lg Eggs   
       3/4 c  Hot water   
       3/4 c  Heavy cream   
         3 tb Neutral oil   
         2 ts Vanilla extract   
      
   MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------   
       1/2 lb Softened butter   
         4 c  Confectioners' sugar   
         4 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder;   
              - sifted   
      
   MMMMM------------------------STRAWBERRIES-----------------------------   
        20    Strawberries (1 per cupcake)   
              Bacardi 151 rum   
       
     CUPCAKES: Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.   
        
     Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and set aside.   
        
     Sift together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking   
     powder and salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, water,   
     heavy cream, oil and vanilla. Mix with a hand held mixer   
     until smooth.   
        
     Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each half full.   
     Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before frosting.   
        
     FROSTING: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk   
     attachment, cream together sugar, cocoa and butter;   
     beginning on low speed then increase to high. Beat until   
     fluffy and lightened in color. Transfer mixture to a   
     piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. Frost cupcakes.   
        
     STRAWBERRIES: Hollow the strawberries carefully. If you   
     pierce the side of the strawberry accidentally, start   
     with a new one. Since you'll be setting the liquor   
     aflame, it is important that the strawberry is   
     leak-proof.   
        
     Set one strawberry atop each frosted cupcake. Fill   
     strawberries with liquor just before lighting. If you   
     need to light them all at once, (say, for a party) use a   
     turkey baster to quickly fill all the strawberries and a   
     grill lighter in lieu of matches.
