These creamy tiramisu cupcakes combine the classic flavors of tiramisu into portable, coffee-soaked cupcakes topped with mascarpone frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 cup (240 g) mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the brewed espresso until the batter is smooth.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a chilled bowl, beat the mascarpone, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  10. Pipe or spread the frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Dust with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cupcakes fluffy.’, ‘Ensure eggs, milk, and butter are at room temperature for smooth mixing.’, ‘Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor.’, ‘Chill the frosting bowl to help mascarpone and cream whip faster.’, ‘Taste the frosting before piping and adjust sweetness if needed.’]
