Petite Coffee Cupcakes

Recipe source: Cupcake Bakeshop by Chokylit

Cupcakes ingredients:

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 chocolate ganache. Frost it when cupcakes are cool.
