Coffee Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Last night I arrived home in a panic because I had to make cupcakes and not because of some last minute office celebration, or a friend’s birthday, a potluck/picnic/other random event that requires a box of homemade cupcakes piled high with buttercream frosting.
No, I stayed up late to frost cupcakes because today, TODAY, is this blog’s 6th birthday and I couldn’t let the day slip by without a little recognition.
I’ll spare you the whole “oh my gosh, I’ve been blogging for six years and I’ve learned so much, yada, yada yada” stuff and instead will just say “thank you”. Whether we just met this past year or you’ve been following along for a while I want you to know your support of this little blog means the world to me.
Of course, a birthday isn’t complete without trotting out some baby pictures so, if you’re curious, be sure to visit the very first Girl Gone Gourmet post.
My, oh my, how times have changed.
- For the Cupcakes
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup cream
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- For the Frosting
- ½ cups butter (1 stick), softened
- 1.5 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard sized muffin tin with cupcake liners (or spray with cooking spray).
- Using a stand mixer (with paddle attachment) or hand mixer first combine the oil and sugar together before adding the vanilla and eggs. Mix until well combined. Add the cream and coffee and continue to mix until it’s all well combined.
- In a separate medium sized bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt (I use a fine mesh strainer to sift – if you don’t have one you can just whisk the ingredients together.
- Set the mixer to a low speed and add the dry ingredients to the wet ones in a few batches mixing until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full with the batter. Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While the cupcakes are cooling make the frosting. First, whip the butter on high speed until it starts to look fluffy and airy.
- Add in the confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla and continue to mix (start at a lower speed and increase to medium) until well incorporated. Finally, add the melted chocolate and stir until combined. You may need to scrape down the sides to ensure all the ingredients are mixed together.
