Since my husband loves coffee, I thought I’d make some coffee flavoured cupcakes. This is such an easy recipe – I guarantee if you don’t like baking, you will find this a breeze. For those of you who tried my chocolate brownies, I recommend giving these a bash.
Ingredients
- 125g butter
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2t coffee diluted in 2T water
- ½ cup milk
- 1½ cup flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1t vanilla essence
- 3t baking powder
Preheat oven to 180ºC
Using an electric beater, beat all ingredients together in a bowl – except the 3 teaspoons of baking powder. Beat for 10 minutess. I used setting 3/5 on my beater. After 10 minutes you will notice the mixture is very creamy and smooth. (I recommend leaving your butter out to soften a bit before baking). Lastly, add 3t baking powder and beat in.
Pour 1 tablespoon of batter in each cup. I got about 23.
Bake for 15 minutes on 180ºC
Once cupcakes are completely cool, ice with the following:
- 30g melted butter
- 1t coffee diluted in 1t water
- 1t honey
- 1t vanilla essence
- 1T water
- 1 cup icing sugar
Mix everything together until smooth. Ice cupcakes. Decorate with caramel or chocolate vermicelli before icing hardens.
Thanks to my little sis who gave me this recipe.
