Easy Coffee Cupcakes
Report
Make moist and fluffy Coffee Cupcakes loaded with bold coffee flavor, and topped with silky, creamy frosting - with no dairy or eggs (+ you can’t tell!). A simple, crowd-pleasing treat!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, plus more for garnish
- 1 cup of warm water
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- ½ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons of white or apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup canola or vegetable oil
- Homemade or store-bought vegan frosting, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Line a cupcake tin with silicone or paper baking cups.
- In a cup, dissolve the instant coffee in the warm water. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer), mix together all the ingredients until smooth.
- Pour the batter into each baking cup until it’s three-quarters full. Sprinkle a pinch of instant coffee on top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Test a cupcake by sticking a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out dry, the cupcakes are done.
- Place the trays on cooling racks and allow them to fully cool down before frosting.

Notes
- Measure the flour accurately: First, fluff it up in the bag with a fork. Then, use a spoon to transfer it to the measuring cup, leveling it off with the back of a knife.
- Don’t over-mix the batter: Mix the ingredients until just combined and smooth – a few tiny lumps are fine. Over-mixing leads to dense, gummy, sunken bakes.
- For a stronger coffee flavor: Dissolve more coffee in the hot water or use espresso instead. If it tastes too mild after baking, a strong coffee vegan buttercream works wonders.
- Make leftovers: They taste even better on day two!
