Coffee Cream & Walnut Cupcakes

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:

To be honest these just weren't that flavorful compared to the passion cupcakes not as sweet.

So much is going on so I thought it was a bit difficult.

These were some bomb cupcakes I throughly enjoyed them .

How did your cupcales rise so big without baking powder?

Paityn Jennewein

Replaced the walnuts for almonds instead the second time around cause they were just too hard to chew for my kids and crunched up almonds are cheaper to buy anyway.

Took me a bit longer than 30 minutes but good.
