Time 30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg
2 tablespoons caster sugar
2 tablespoons self-raising flour
1/4 cup plain flour
40 g good quality dark chocolate, grated
1 cup thickened cream
1 teaspoon drinking chocolate
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
cocoa powder, to serve
chocolate-covered coffee beans, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 12-hole (2 tablespoon capacity) flat-based cupcake or patty pan with paper cases.
  • Dissolve the coffee in 1 tablespoon of hot water in a small jug and stir in the butter.
  • Using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg and sugar in a medium-sized bowl until pale and thick; sift the flours together over the egg mixture and using a large metal spoon, gently fold in until just combined; gently stir in the coffee mixture and the grated chocolate.
  • Half fill each paper case with the mixture and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of one of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  • Leave the cupcakes standing in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream until it is thick; sift the drinking chocolate and cocoa over the cream and fold it through the cream to create a marbled effect; spoon the cream mixture over the cupcakes, dust with extra cocoa and top each cupcake with a chocolate-coated coffee bean.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit too dense and the frosting was too sweet.

I was disappointed with these cupcakes. The flavor was bland and the texture was dry.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still really enjoyed these cupcakes. The cappuccino flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cupcakes are amazing! The cappuccino flavor is so rich and delicious, and the cupcakes themselves are moist and fluffy. I also love the chocolate ganache frosting - it's the perfect finishing touch.
