Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons espresso powder
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (1 cup), plus more for grating
1 recipe Classic Yellow Cake Batter
1 1/3 cups sugar
5 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 standard muffin cups with paper liners. In a small bowl, combine espresso powder and 2 teaspoons hot water. Stir espresso and chocolate into batter; divide among muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes, then transfer cupcakes to racks and let cool completely. (Unfrosted cupcakes may be stored, in airtight containers, at room temperature, up to 2 days.)

Add sugar, egg whites, and cream of tartar and whisk constantly until mixture is warm and frothy and sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat on medium until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. Increase speed to high and beat until whites form medium-stiff, glossy peaks, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer frosting to a large zip-top bag and snip a 1/4-inch hole in one corner. Frost cupcakes, then finely grate some chocolate on top.

Tips:

  • Be sure to let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cupcakes. Just be sure to do it evenly so that each cupcake has a similar amount of frosting.
  • For a fun and festive touch, sprinkle some chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top of the frosted cupcakes before serving.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
