👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then add vanilla.

Mix in the dry ingredients alternately with milk, starting and ending with dry. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Coffee Soak

In a small bowl, mix cooled espresso with sugar and coffee liqueur (if using). Brush the tops of the cooled cupcakes generously with the coffee mixture until slightly soaked.

Step 3: Prepare the Mascarpone Frosting

In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. In another bowl, whisk mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until fully combined.

Step 4: Frost and Decorate

Pipe or spoon the frosting onto each cupcake. Dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chocolate chips or grated chocolate if desired.
