Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cupcakes:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Coffee Cream Filling:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp instant coffee granules
  • For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs, cooled brewed coffee, milk, and vanilla extract; mix until blended.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely.
  7. While cupcakes cool, make the coffee cream filling. Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and instant coffee granules until stiff peaks form.
  8. To make the ganache, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool and thicken slightly.
  9. Once cupcakes are cool, create a hole in the center of each. Pipe the coffee cream filling into the holes, then drizzle with ganache.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed on the day they are made.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
  • Ensure brewed coffee is fully cooled before adding to batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter.
  • A plastic sandwich bag can be used as a piping bag for the filling.
