Last week, I discovered that my favourite coffee shop started selling chocolate coated coffee beans and I was oh-so-excited! As I promised, Cupcakes + Chocolate Coated Coffee Beans = Loveliness. These gorgeous Dark Chocolate Coffee Bean cupcakes are to die for - so rich and soft - and perfect alongside a nice cup of tea. They make the grade on every one of my levels: chocolate - tick, aesthetics - tick, and did I mention chocolate? Thoroughly impressive and minimal effort, definitely give these ones a try.
Dark Chocolate Coffee Bean Cupcakes
125g soft unsalted butter
125g dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
125g S.R. Flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 shot espresso
50g dark chocolate, melted
1-2 tbsp milk
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar before gradually adding your eggs. Tip in the flour, cocoa and espresso and mix until you have a smooth, thick batter. Add in the slightly cooled chocolate and thin the batter with milk. Pour into cupcake cases and cook for 15-20 mins. Let the cakes cool. Makes 12.
Frosting
300g dark chocolate
50g unsalted butter
1/2 espresso shot
Place all the ingredients into a microwave safe container. Zap and stir at 30 second intervals until the chocolate has melted. Whisk well to combine and thicken. Pipe onto cupcakes and top with a chocolate-coated coffee bean.
Thank me later,
