Ingredients

Cupcake Batter

200g self-raising flour
150g caster sugar
120g unsalted butter (softened)
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
50–70ml Bakers Street Colour Aroma Coffee Compound
120ml whole milk
1 tsp baking powder

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 170°C and line a cupcake tray with paper cases. Proper preheating ensures even baking and perfect rise.

2. Cream Butter & Sugar

Beat butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. This step helps create a light cupcake texture.

3. Add Eggs & Flavour

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract and coffee compound to evenly distribute the coffee aroma.

4. Combine Ingredients

Sift flour and baking powder together. Gently fold into the batter, alternating with milk. Mix until just smooth.

5. Bake

Fill cupcake cases two-thirds full. Bake for 18 – 22 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.

6. Prepare Coffee Frosting

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add icing sugar, followed by coffee compound. Whip until creamy and spreadable. Pipe or spread onto cooled cupcakes.
