Sugar-Topped Mocha Cupcakes image

I first made these cupcakes, adapted from an eggless cake recipe, for a school carnival. It's the only dessert my picky daughter requests. Light, moist and tender, the cupcakes don't need frosting, thanks to the sparkly cinnamon-sugar topping. -Jennifer Kraft, Hastings, Nebraska
