Ingredients
For the cupcakes
- 1 ½ teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 3 eggs
- 150 grams of baking spread or margarine
- 120 grams caster sugar
- 150 grams of all-purpose flour/ plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
For the frosting
- 50 grams of salted butter softened.
- 100 grams of icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon hot water
Instructions
For the cupcakes
- Place the eggs and 1 ½ teaspoons of instant coffee granules in a mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, a hand whisk, or a fork, lightly beat them until the coffee granules melt in the egg.
- Add the caster sugar to the egg mixture and stir again.
- Then add the baking spread (or margarine), flour, and baking powder into the egg mix. Using a handheld mixer, or a stand mixer, whisk it until you get a smooth batter.
- Preheat the oven to 180℃/ 356℉ or gas mark 4
- Prepare the muffin/ cupcake tin with cupcake cases.
- Scoop the batter into each case and bake in a preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cupcakes are springy to the touch.
- Put the cupcakes on a cooling wire rack and let them cool to room temperature before frosting them with coffee buttercream.
For the buttercream
- Mix 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules with 1 teaspoon of hot water in a small mixing bowl.
- Stir well until all the granules have dissolved. Let it cool.
- Place the butter, icing sugar, and coffee mixture in a mixing bowl. Using a handheld, or a stand mixer, beat them and mix them until you get light and fluffy buttercream.
Notes
- Make sure your instant coffee granules are not old and stale. Because the fresh coffee granules will melt easily, and the flavor will definitely be better.
- Check the temperature of the melted coffee mixture before adding it to the butter and sugar. Make sure it has completely cooled down. Else, the butter will melt or go too soft.
