Category: Cupcakes

1 box white cake mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup brewed coffee*
1/2 tbsp ground coffee
2 tbsp vegtable oil
3 large egg whites

*for the whole recipe you will need 1 1/4 cups brewed coffee.(brewed coffee:1 1/4 cups warm water plus 2 tbsp instant coffee)

Filling:
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
3 tbsp coffee liqueur
Pinch of table salt

Coffee Drizzle:
1/2 cup brewed coffee
3 tbsp sugar

Whipped cream:
2 cups cold heavy cream
1/3 cup confectioners sugar (sifted)
1 tbsp coffee liqueur
1/2 tbsp brewed coffee

Garnish:
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 dark chocolate bar, for chocolate shavings

Preheat oven to 350. Put liners in two 12 capacity cupcake pans.

Add all ingredients and mix on low for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes. Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 of the way. Bake for 22 minutes. Let cupcakes cool.

Filling: Put all ingredients in mixing bowl. Mix on low for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and mix until smooth and well combined. Empty contents of bowl into a piping bag fitted with the number 12 tip. Insert the tip into the center of the cupcake. Squeeze the piping for 2-3 seconds (careful not to over fill the cupcakes, they will crack).

Coffee Drizzle: Combine ingredients and mix until sugar is dissolved. Use a tsp to drizzle the mixture over each cupcake. Set the cupcakes aside until you finish the next step.

Whipped cream: In a bowl mix all the ingredients with a whisk attachment. Mix until stiff peaks are formed. This can now be spooned onto the top of the cupcakes or piped.

Garnish: Place the cocoa powder in a sifter and shake over the cupcakes.

For the chocolate shavings, run a vegtable peeler along the length of the chocolate bar. Spinkle the shavings over the cupcakes.
