    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

    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.
