A dessert that doubles as a drinking game? You don’t need much for this parter-starter, just cake mix, a can of coke, and some butter and sugar. We like rum & coke shots in ours, but feel free to swap out for your favorite cocktail. (Or just straight up booze—no judgement here!) Don’t forget to get yourself some shot glass solo cups and mini ping pong balls so your pong is actually playable.
Preheat the oven to 350 ° and line two muffin cups with 20 molds.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and a can of Coca-Cola and mix until smooth. Divide the dough between the prepared cupcake liners.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Meanwhile, make the buttercream: in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter until fluffy.
Add powdered sugar and salt and beat until combined, then add 1/4 cup rum 1 tablespoon at a time until completely incorporated.
Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag In a medium measuring cup, combine the remaining can of coke, 3/4 cup of the remaining rum and the lime juice. Use the mix to fill 20 solo shots halfway.
Pipe frosting in a circle around the edge of each cupcake, then place the filled solo cups in the center. Play ball!
