Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature while you prepare the batter.
2
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer.
3
Add the oil, milk, vanilla sugar, and instant coffee, then mix well.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. You can add all the dry ingredients without sifting, but sifting helps to avoid lumps.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
6
Divide the batter evenly into muffin liners, filling them about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
7
Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. They are ready when the tops spring back lightly and are golden brown.
8
Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, prepare the mocha cream. Heat the heavy cream, then add the instant coffee and stir until completely dissolved.
9
You can whip the heavy cream into whipped cream, then use it to decorate the top of the finished cupcakes. The coffee and chocolate combination provide the mocha flavor, so it's a good idea to sprinkle grated chocolate on top.
