Diet cream soda would not have sugar in it and it may cause some sort of chemical failure to this recipe - that's my guess. I'm no baking scientist.

Ingredients

  • 2  cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2  tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2  tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2  cup butter, softened
  • 3/4  cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4  cup packed brown sugar
  • 3  eggs
  • 1  Tbsp. molasses
  • 1-1/2  tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2  cup buttermilk
  • 1/2  cup cream soda (not diet)
  • 3/4  cup toffee pieces
  • 1  recipe Brown Butter Frosting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line eighteen 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups; set aside. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.

2. In large bowl beat butter with electric mixer on medium to high 30 seconds. Add sugars; beat until well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, on low until combined. Beat in molasses and vanilla.

3. Alternately add flour mixture, buttermilk, and cream soda to butter mixture, beating on low speed after each addition until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of the toffee. Fill cups 3/4 full. Bake about 18 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pans on racks 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool. Frost; top with remaining toffee. Makes 18 cupcakes.

4. Brown Butter Frosting: For brown butter, in saucepan heat 1/4 cup butter over medium-low heat until lightly browned, about 8 minutes; cool. In bowl beat 1/4 cup softened butter with mixer on medium 30 seconds. Add cooled brown butter; beat until combined. Add 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and dash salt. Beat in 1 to 2 tablespoons buttermilk until spreadable. Use immediately. If frosting begins to set up, stir in a small amount of boiling water. Makes 1 1/4 cups frosting.
