Indulge in the rich flavors of Chocolate Espresso Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream – Bake Drizzle Dust. These decadent treats blend coffee and chocolate perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla bean paste and cooled espresso.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely before frosting with salted caramel buttercream.

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate them if you want to keep them longer.
  • If you prefer your cupcakes warm, simply reheat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, ensuring they remain moist and delicious.
  • These cupcakes pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra salted caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
  • For an added depth of flavor, try using dark chocolate cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder, which enhances the chocolate and espresso notes in the cupcakes.
