Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While baking, combine espresso and 2 tbsp sugar in a bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Once the cupcakes have cooled for 10 minutes, poke holes in them using a skewer or toothpick. Drizzle the coffee mixture over each cupcake.
  • Beat mascarpone, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form to make the frosting.
  • Once cooled, frost each cupcake with the mascarpone mixture and dust with cocoa powder.

Notes

  • For an adult twist, add coffee liqueur like Kahlúa to the coffee mixture.
  • Substitute mascarpone with a vegan alternative to make this recipe vegan.
  • Ensure the mascarpone and cream are chilled to achieve a fluffier frosting.
