METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and set aside.
2. 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 handheld mixer until smooth
3. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each half full. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before frosting
4. 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
5. 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.
6. Set one strawberry atop each frosted cupcake. Fill strawberries with liquor just before lighting
