Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

Cupcakes:
2 tablespoons espresso powder
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate toffee bits
Espresso Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons espresso powder

Steps:

•Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake cups with liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray. •Dissolve espresso granules in boiling water; cool. •In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with espresso mixture and mix well. Fold in toffee bits. •Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Move the pan to a cooling rack, and let cool for 10 minutes before removing the cupcakes from the pan and letting them finish cooling on the cooling rack. •To make the frosting: mix the espresso powder into the vanilla until dissolved; set aside. •In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, stopping once to scrape the sides of the bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the powdered sugar a little at a time, waiting until it is mostly incorporated before adding more. Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, scrape the sides of the bowl and increase the speed to medium-high and whip until fluffy, about a minute or two. Add the espresso and vanilla mixture and continue to mix at medium-high until it is completely incorporated, scraping the sides as necessary. •Frost cupcakes; sprinkle with chocolate chips and toffee bits.

Tips:

Use high-quality coffee for the best flavor.
Don't overmix the cupcake batter, as this can make the cupcakes tough.
Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full, as the cupcakes will rise during baking.
Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
For the best flavor, make the toffee sauce in advance and let it cool completely before using.
Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
Top the cupcakes with a toffee candy or a sprinkle of toffee bits for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

These toffee mocha cupcakes are the perfect treat for any coffee lover. They're moist and fluffy, with a rich coffee flavor and a decadent toffee sauce. They're also easy to make, so they're perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dessert.
