Chocolate and coffee in one recipe!! A combination that is hard to resist even for strict dieters 😉 And a favourite combo for my sis! My sister is the greatest critic of all my recipes. You will not believe but she gives all my baked goods a rating out of ten!! And Its difficult to get a perfect 10 from her.
But when she took a bite of this cupcake, her eyes almost popped out! She gave me a 12 on 10 😀
Chocolate and Coffee did the thing! got me an exaggerated rating 😉
They vanished the same day they were created 😀
Now for the recipe. You remember the marbled brownie recipe. Well it’s the same recipe 🙂 the batter is as good for a brownie as for cupcakes.
To assemble these beauties, whip up some chocolate ganache and mocha whipped cream frosting.
You very well know by now, how chocolate ganache is made 🙂 and try not to lick all of it from the bowl 😛
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder
- 3-4 tbsp granulated white sugar
- ½ tsp Kahlua (coffee liquer)
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Place your cocoa, instant coffee, sugar, Kahlua and two tablespoon cream in a big chilled container and mix well.
- Now add the remaining cream and whisk once on high speed to combine.
- Now leave this container and whisk in the freezer and chill for few minutes.
- Later, Whip it with a electric mixer for few minutes till stiff peaks form.
Whipped cream frosting is always healthier when compared to a traditional buttercream, atleast sounds guiltfree bcos of no butter!! But it needs to be whipped with care. It takes only a few minutes for whipped cream to turn into butter. Take care with that.
Now assemble your chocolate mocha cupcakes. Top each with lots of chocolate ganache and then pipe swirls of mocha frosting. Top with chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles!!

Loved the wrappers… 🙂
Deepika, can you please suggest the time for in oven for cup cakes as it would be less than the marble cake?
