These Coffee Cream & Walnut Cupcakes really are a perfect flavor combination. Yes, this combo has been around for decades, but classics never go out of fashion, do they? The star of this recipe however is not the cupcake itself but the smooth and creamy coffee topping made from Italian mascarpone cheese with just a hint of sugar to sweeten it.
Start by making a simple cupcake batter from butter, sugar, flour, eggs, coffee and a pinch of salt. Once beaten, stir through walnuts and divide the mixture into 12 even cupcakes. Bake in the oven and make the mascarpone topping. The cupcakes taste best when they’re freshly iced, so if you plan on making these ahead of time, make the mascarpone topping and refrigerate it until you are close to serving. Beat the topping again and spoon it onto the cupcakes when you are ready to serve.
To make Coffee Cream & Walnut Cupcakes you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 355 °F. Line a cupcake tray with paper cupcake liners or grease each cup.
Place 100 grams of butter, 100 grams of sugar, 100 grams of flour and 2 eggs with 4 teaspoons of coffee and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer, beat the cake batter until creamy.
Stir 25 grams of chopped walnuts into the batter.
Divide the cupcake batter between each of the paper cupcake liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown.
Cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Using an electric hand mixer, beat 3 teaspoons coffee with mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons of sugar until smooth.
Spoon a large dollop of coffee flavored mascarpone onto each cupcake and top each one with a walnut half.
Serve with afternoon tea or a mid morning coffee.
