How to Make Cappuccino Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small jug, dissolve 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Stir in 50g (1/4 cup) of softened unsalted butter until melted and combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 150g (1 cup) of caster sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick (about 5 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 150g (1 1/4 cups) plain flour, 50g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently stir in the coffee-butter mixture and 50g (1/2 cup) of finely grated dark chocolate.
  6. Fill each paper liner halfway with the batter. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cupcakes cool, whip 200ml (1 cup) heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  9. Sift 2 tablespoons of drinking chocolate and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder over the whipped cream. Gently fold them in to create a marbled effect.
  10. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, top each with a generous dollop of the chocolate cream. Dust with extra cocoa powder and garnish with a chocolate-covered coffee bean.
