Ingredients

Scale

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the Coffee Soak (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)

For Garnish:

  • Cocoa powder
  • Chocolate curls

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cupcakes:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the sour cream and espresso, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
    • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  • Prepare the Frosting:
    • In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
    • Gently fold in the whipped cream to maintain the airy texture. Chill until ready to use.
  • Assemble the Cupcakes:
    • If using the coffee soak, mix the espresso and coffee liqueur together. Lightly brush the tops of the cooled cupcakes with the soak.
    • Pipe or spread the mascarpone frosting onto each cupcake.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    • Dust the tops of the cupcakes with cocoa powder and decorate with chocolate curls.
    • Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • The coffee soak is optional but adds an extra layer of flavor and moisture to the cupcakes.
  • If you prefer a less sweet frosting, you can reduce the powdered sugar in the mascarpone frosting.
  • These cupcakes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
