Coffee Cupcakes with Simple Coffee Buttercream Frosting
These coffee cupcakes are exceptionally moist and so rich in flavor. With the perfect amount of espresso, these are every bit the ideal recipe.
Oh hello Friday pick me up. I didn’t imagine you being so beautiful. Topped with your sweet, creamy, chocolatey coffee buttercream – you have no business looking this good.
Yes, I’m talking to these coffee cupcakes. Irresistibly delicious goodies will make you do crazy things. And these bad boys are beyond irresistibly delicious. If that’s even possible.
I was getting tired of the same old chocolate/vanilla cupcakes. I wanted cupcakes that gave me more than just average flavor. And as I was sipping on my coffee, it hit me.
Coffee flavored cupcakes.
Yes, Marina! Why didn’t you think of this before?
I don’t know and I’m still kicking myself for it. But I made them. Over and over. Until I perfected them. And now they’re one of my favorites.
You’ll know exactly what I’m talking about once you make these. They are absolutely divine! They’re the perfect coffeehouse treat, at home. They’re delicious all on their own but if you want to take it up a notch, or twenty, swirl on some coffee buttercream. Oh. My. Goodness. It will be caffeine heaven in your mouth. And I bet you could use that after a really long week. Oh, you’re welcome.
I love the buttercream so much! I could seriously eat a whole bowl of it. Because this buttercream isn’t just plain jane coffee flavor. Nope. I added cocoa and chocolate chips to it too. Mmmm.
Whether it’s the chocolate that pulls you in or the coffee, these cupcakes will not disappoint! Let me know in the comments how you liked them!
