Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Coffee Cream Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
- In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs, cooled brewed coffee, milk, and vanilla, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and instant coffee granules until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Core each cupcake and fill with the whipped coffee cream.
- Heat heavy cream until it simmers, pour over chopped dark chocolate, let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
- Top each filled cupcake with ganache, let it set at room temperature before serving.

Notes
Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Use room temperature ingredients for a more homogenous batter. Store filled cupcakes in the fridge for freshness.
