hey riders!
happy friday! i have a treat for you before the week ends. i made a coffee cupcakes and i added a bunch of coffee in it! :D i do recommend making the cupcakes the night before, so in the morning, you'll have a nice caffeine waiting for you in your kitchen counter (only if you can wait). pair with your hot coffee and you're good for the day!
GOODLUCK!
ingredients:

- 1 cup hot water
- 3 cups all purpose flour (sifted)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup milk

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
for the frosting;
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 packet of instant coffee
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
directions:
- add 1 packet of instant coffee to a cup of hot water, and combine well until the coffee is dissolved then set aside
- in a separate bowl, add the sifted flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, instant coffee, nutmeg and cinnamon. combine all dry ingredients
- then add the wet ingredients, starting of the coffee mixed, then the milk, egg, vanilla extract and the vegetable oil, mix until smooth but DO NOT over mixed the batter
- pour the batter mixture into the cupcake mold baking pan about 3/4 full

sai's tip for this recipe:
- make sure all the ingredients are in room temperature before you start baking
- i used a hand mixer to make this cupcakes, however you can absolutely use your hand to mix the batter, it is not a lot of work
- make sure to cool down the cupcakes completely before adding the frosting otherwise you'll end up with a runny frost
