Description

Chocolate coffee cream cupcakes are a delightful fusion of rich chocolate and bold coffee, topped with creamy frosting. Perfect for any occasion, these treats will impress your guests.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat together eggs, milk, melted butter, and cooled strong brewed coffee until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into your lined muffin tin until each cavity is about two-thirds full. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cupcakes cool, beat together softened butter and powdered sugar with brewed coffee until fluffy.
  7. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes generously with the coffee-infused frosting.
