MOCHA CAFE CREAM CUPCAKES

We made a huge mess in the kitchen but it was well worth it! These are decadent and can be made as fancy as you want. It was fun trying to figure out how to make the hole in the middle perfect and even more fun when we decided to try an apple corer and it worked!! We cut one in half for the photo which gave me an excuse to eat...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 21

CUPCAKE BATTER
1 box triple chocolate cake mix made with pudding
1 1/3 c cold strong coffee
3 eggs
1/4 c sour cream
1/2 box instant chocolate pudding
2-3 tbsp mocha powder
1/2 c vegetable oil
MOCHA CREAM FILLING
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c unsalted butter
1 1/2 c milk
1 box instant chocolate pudding
6 oz cool whip
MOCHA CREAM FROSTING
1 1/2 c heavy whipping cream
4 Tbsp mocha powder/mix
1/2 box instant chocolate pudding mix
powdered sugar (to thicken to desired consistancy)
optional: chocolate covered coffee beans, chocolate curls, chocolate sprinkles for garnish ideas

Steps:

  • 1. Mix cake mix as directed on box, subbing water for coffee. Add sour cream, mocha powder and pudding mix to the batter. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • 2. Using a knife, carve a hole ALMOST to the bottom of each cupcake once they are cooled, right in the center. I made the holes fairly big, as the filling is absolutely awesome (give it up for WENDY'S Boston Cream Filling, with a twist). in a bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, add in powdered sugar, milk, and chocolate pudding, fold in cool whip til mixed. I use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped, and add the filling into it, piping each hole in each cupcake well over the top.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, desolve mocha mix in the whipping cream. Beat til fluffy, then add pudding mix and powdered sugar to sweeten and thicken to your desired consistancy. Frost each cupcake either with a knife or by piping it on. Sprinkle just a fine dusting of mocha powder over top each cake, and then drizzle hersheys chocolate syrup over each one
  • 4. Can use Chocolate covered coffee beans, chocolate curls, and/or chocolate sprinkles for decoration and garnish.

Time 45m

Yield 1 cupcake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 eggs
1/2 cup cold brewed coffee, plus
3 tablespoons brewed cold coffee
1/2 cup oil, plus
2 tablespoons oil
3 teaspoons cider vinegar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 1/2 tablespoons dark chocolate
1/3 cup butter, softened, plus
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons brewed coffee
2 -3 tablespoons chopped dark chocolate
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, coffee, oil, vinegar and vanilla until well blended. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into coffee mixture until blended. Do not over mix (this will cause tough cupcakes).
  • Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full.(note: for cupcakes to all be the same size; use a 1/4-1/3 measuring cup to fill your cups). Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the cupcakes are a rather light gold, and mildly fluffed. Cool for about 10 minutes outside of the pan (to avoid residule cooking) before frosting *as below* .
  • For frosting, in a microwave or over a saucepan, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and coffee at a high rate until smooth and holding (also, if the frosting seems a tad runny; add a sprinkle more confectioners sugar/ coocoa powder). Pipe frosting onto cupcakes. Top with chopped chocolate bits.
  • Refridgerate for 6-7 days to keep fresh.
