Cupcake, always a treat and a crowd pleaser.
I get my caffeine fix in the morning as a cuppa is a must for me to kick start the day. Alongside with a coffee cupcake is a double-booster.
And when i want a quick fix of cake, i go for cupcakes. I made mine with luxurious coffee buttercream.
No slicing and best of all, i can have the whole cake by myself. It never fails to give me an spiritual uplift running a hectic day.
Have you had your coffee today?
Some for friends to bring home for tea.
Coffee Buttercream Cupcakes
Recipe source: Cupcake Bakeshop by Chokylit
1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter, (i used 170g) @ room temperature
1-1/2 cups sugar (i used 1 cup)3 large eggs @ room temperature
2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dark roast coffee grounds
1/2 cup strong brewed, dark roast coffee
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
Method:
1. Preheat oven at 180deg C. Sieve plain flour, baking powder, salt, coffee grounds and set aside.
2. Cream butter on high speed until soft, takes about 30 seconds.
3. Slowly add sugar. Beat on medium-high speed, takes about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated.
5. Whisk in the sieved flour, baking powder, salt, and coffee grounds, alternate with milk with brewed coffee. Beat until combined. Be careful when adding the coffee/milk mixture to the batter. If you add it too quickly the mixture will look curdled. Add small amounts and beat well to incorporate.
6. Scoop into cupcake liner, filled about two-thirds full.
*Note that these cupcakes will shrink slightly when they cool.7. Bake in preheated oven for 22-25 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.
8. Cool cupcakes, set aside. Prepare coffee buttercream. Frost it when cupcakes are cool.

Christina: you can make your usual daily brewed coffee on your preference of brands of beans. For this, I used Maxwell from UK. At times, Blue Mountain. Just add water make half a cup. For coffee taste and richness, it's rather subjective to personal preference. You can use which ever brand u like.
