Ingredients

Scale

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Frosting & Filling

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup espresso or strong coffee
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to ensure the cupcakes bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and granulated sugar until well combined to evenly distribute the leavening and cocoa.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, whole milk, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, which will give the cupcakes moisture and tenderness.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid dense cupcakes.
  5. Fill and Bake: Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the Cupcakes: Remove cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before filling to prevent the frosting from melting.
  7. Prepare Frosting and Fill: Whip the mascarpone cheese until smooth, then gently fold in the espresso or strong coffee to infuse the tiramisu flavor into the frosting. Fill or top the cooled cupcakes with this mascarpone mixture.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Lightly dust the frosted cupcakes with unsweetened cocoa powder to add a finishing touch reminiscent of traditional tiramisu before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for easier whipping.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee for the best authentic flavor.
  • If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, brush brewed espresso on the cupcakes before frosting.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a decorative touch, garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans.
