1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cups lukewarm coffee
12 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
4 to 6 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line 14 to 15 muffin cups with cupcake liners and set pan aside.
