At a glance
You're about to whip up delicious coffee-flavoured cupcakes topped with silky frosting – a perfect match if you love coffee! The main action happens in the mixer where you'll cream together butter, sugar, and eggs into a fluffy base, then fold in dry ingredients and strong coffee for that rich flavour. The frosting is where the magic happens – you'll chill it before piping, and the whole process takes just over an hour from start to enjoying your first bite.

In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients – flour, salt and baking powder. It's important to mix them well so the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Combine everything
Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, then add the lukewarm strong coffee and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly again, and right at the end, stir in about two to three teaspoons of ground vanilla coffee. It's great not just for the aroma and flavour, but it also looks lovely.
