Instructions

Prepare the Cupcakes:

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, espresso powder, and kosher salt until well combined.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Stir in about half of the flour mixture. Then, add the milk and the remaining flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.

  5. Fill the Liners

    Pour about ¼ cup of batter into each cupcake liner, filling them about halfway full.

  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from the pan and let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack.

Prepare the Coffee Soak:

  1. Mix Coffee Soak

    In a small bowl, combine the brewed espresso and coffee liqueur. Stir until well mixed.

  2. Soak the Cupcakes

    While the cupcakes are still warm, use a pastry brush to generously brush the tops of each cupcake with the coffee soak. Aim for about 1-2 teaspoons per cupcake, ensuring they absorb the flavor without getting soggy.

Make the Mascarpone Frosting:

  1. Beat the Butter

    In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the room-temperature butter until creamy.

  2. Add Mascarpone

    Add the mascarpone cheese and mix until smooth and well incorporated.

  3. Incorporate Sugar and Liqueur

    Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy. Then, add the coffee liqueur (or brewed espresso) and mix until combined.

Frost the Cupcakes:

  1. Frosting Time

    Transfer the mascarpone frosting into a piping bag fitted with your favorite tip. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes in a swirling motion.

  2. Garnish

    Dust the tops with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings or a ladyfinger for a decorative touch, if desired.

Serve and Enjoy

  1. Let the cupcakes set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delightful tiramisu cupcakes with a coffee or as a sweet treat any time of day!
