Tiramisu Cupcakes 🧁❤️
Ingredients:
Cupcakes:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
Coffee Soak:
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
Mascarpone Frosting:
8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Chocolate shavings or coffee beans (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Alternate adding flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with flour, until combined.
Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cupcakes cool completely.
Mix the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur. Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the cupcakes to soak in flavor.
Beat mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cupcakes.
Dust with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings or coffee beans for garnish.
