by

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup maida/ flour
  • ΒΌ tsp Salt
  • 3/4th cup sugar, powdered
  • Wet ingredients:
  • 3/4th cup milk, to make the batter smooth
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 Tbsp coffee powder + 1 tsp water, to make a paste
  • 5 Tbsp butter, softened

Procedure:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees C. Line the cupcake moulds with paper cupcake liners.
  • In a bowl sift maida, baking powder, cocoa powder and sugar.
  • Add in softened butter, vanilla essence, coffee paste and milk till a smooth batter forms.
  • Pour the batter into the moulds and bake at 180 degrees until done. (Approximately 15-20 minutes)
  • You check if they’re done by inserting a toothpick into the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, it means it’s done.
  • Take the cupcakes out of the oven. Let them cool entirely. Note: Do not frost them unless they are completely cool as the frosting will start to melt.
  • You can frost the cupcakes with mascarpone cheese with a shot of whiskey or some coffee butter cream. Here, coffee cream cheese frosting has been used.
