About Mocha Cupcakes

These cupcakes are eggless and they taste way more moist and delicious than regular ones. I am sure this one is going to be in my repertoire. This is a great recipe for any party or celebration, easy yet so delicious. I just used simple chocolate syrup or sauce for topping; you can go one step further and use any frosting you like.

If you are a coffee lover, use strong coffee. If you are not much of a coffee person, use slightly weak coffee. Caffeine is an issue, use decaf. You can use any type of coffee in this recipe! The coffee and salt enhances the chocolate in these cupcakes and make them tastier.

Chocolate Coffee Cupcakes Ingredients

Flour - You can use a combination of wheat flour and plain flour.

Cocoa Powder - Good quality cocoa powder is used to make rich chocolaty cupcakes.

Baking Soda / Cooking Soda - This recipe doesn't has baking powder. Baking soda is the raising agent.

Strong Brewed Coffee - Using coffee intensify the chocolate flavour in the cupcakes and makes it taste amazing.

White Vinegar - This cupcake is eggless. Vinegar acts as a eggless substitute and makes the cupcakes soft.

Vegetable Oil - oil is used in place of butter which makes cupcakes super moist.

How to Make Mocha Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Line 12 cup muffin pan with cupcake cases and set aside.

Take flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt in a bowl and whisk well. Set aside.

Take coffee, oil, sugar, vinegar and vanilla essence in a bowl and whisk till mixed.

Add in flour mix and mix well.

Spoon this into the cupcake cases and bake for 18 to 20 mins.

Remove it from oven and let it cool for 5 mins.

Now remove from pan and cool it over some wire rack.

Top with chocolate sauce and sprinkles.

Serve.

  vinegar reacts with baking soda in this recipe and makes this cupcakes extra soft and moist. You can add lemon juice instead of vinegar
