Ingredients

Making chocolate cappuccino cupcakes is easy, and you don’t need many ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to make them:

  • 1 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • For the frosting:
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

To make the cupcakes, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and espresso powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well-combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and whisk until just combined. Slowly add the strong brewed coffee, and whisk until just combined. The batter should be thick.

Divide the batter among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each one about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

When the cupcakes are cool, make the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, and espresso powder, and beat until incorporated.

Frost the cupcakes with the whipped cream frosting, and top with chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
