ESPRESSO CUPCAKES
These cupcakes are perfect for the coffee lover. The espresso in the cupcake itself enhances the chocolate flavor. Homemade espresso frosting is sweet, creamy, and full of espresso flavor.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the espresso powder into the brewed coffee until dissolved; set aside to cool to room temperature.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350. Line two standard-size muffin tins with paper liners (you'll get 16-17 cupcakes).
- 3. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 4. Beat the butter and both sugars together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined.
- 5. In a measuring cup combine the milk, brewed coffee mixture, and vanilla.
- 6. Slowly add the flour mixture, alternating with the coffee mixture, ending with the flour mixture.
- 7. Divide the batter evenly between the liners.
- 8. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- 9. FROSTING: Mix the espresso powder into the vanilla until dissolved; set aside.
- 10. Using the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, stopping once to scrape the sides of the bowl. Reduce mixer speed to low and add the powdered sugar a little at a time, waiting until it is mostly incorporated before adding more. Once all the powdered sugar has been added scrape the sides of the bowl and increase the speed to medium-high and whip until fluffy, about a minute or two.
- 11. Add the espresso and vanilla mixture.
- 12. Continue to mix at medium-high until it's completely incorporated, scraping the sides as necessary.
- 13. Frost the completely cooled cupcakes, decorate as desired, and be prepared to have your tastebuds wowed!
ESPRESSO CUPCAKES WITH MILK CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Decadent is the only way to describe these cupcakes. The rich, mocha cake is filled with even richer chocolate ganache, then, as if that weren't enough, Emily Luchetti tops it all off with white chocolate frosting. These are so good, they'll last a day, if even that long.

Steps:
- Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 12 cupcake wells with paper liners.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the espresso powder.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter with the granulated sugar until light, 1 minute with a stand mixer or 2 minutes with a handheld mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat the mixture for 1 minute with a stand mixer or 2 minutes with a handheld mixer.
- On low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk in 2 additions, stirring until incorporated after each addition.
- Pour the batter into the paper-lined cupcake wells. Bake until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then remove from the pans.
- Make the ganache: Place the cream in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and warm over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the stove, add the chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and place plastic wrap directly over the ganache. Refrigerate until cold.
- Make the frosting: Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Add the butter and salt and beat until smooth. Stir in the cooled white chocolate. Refrigerate until firm enough to frost the cupcakes, about 30 minutes.
- Cut out about one quarter of the inside of each cupcake with a small paring knife. With a pastry bag, fill the indent with the milk chocolate ganache.
- Frost each cupcake with the white chocolate frosting.
- Note: The cupcakes can be made a day in advance; wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
- The ganache can be made several days ahead and kept refrigerated.
- The frosting can be made a day ahead and stored at room temperature.
- For maximum flavor and moistness, fill and frost the cupcakes the day you plan to serve them.
CHOCOLATE GANACHE CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Line muffin pans with 12 paper liners. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cupcakes will be tough.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don't overbake! Let the cupcakes cool thoroughly in the pan.
- For the ganache, cook the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.
- Dip the top of each cupcake in the ganache. Decorate with candied violets, if desired. Do not refrigerate.
