These were such delicious cupcakes! I frosted them with the frosting suggested by Jo March, which really goes well with the cake. Thanks for posting this recipe! -
My dad, who doesn't even like the SMELL of coffee ate two of these cupcakes right off. I didn't have frosting or instant coffee on hand so I tweaked a simple boiled frosting recipe to suit the cupcake. 5 tbsp flour, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee. Cook till very thick. Cool completely. Beat together 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Add flour mixture and beat until very flufffy- 5 or more minutes. Frost cupcakes. Best combination you've ever tasted!! -
A very nice cupcake with a different twist. Only change was to make my own frosting with butter, conf. sugar and espresso powder. I'm VERY glad they only make 12, cause I'd eat them all. -
Very nice Cupcakes! This recipe produces a very light and fluffy cupcake. The spices are perfectly balanced. Subtle, not overpowering. And I didn't have any prepared frosting so I just made my own using confectioners sugar with a little butter, softened, and the remaining ingredients the recipe states to add to the frosting. Oh YUM! I think the frosting is wounderful. I can't start my day without my coffee and these cupcakes wen't with my morning coffee perfectly! Fantastic reicipe! Thanks OZ!!
