Ingredients

• Cupcake Mix Ingredients:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
• Tiramisu Topping Ingredients:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder, for dusting

Preparation Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The cupcakes are done when they’re golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean after being inserted into the middle of a cupcake.
6. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the Tiramisu topping. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix together the mascarpone cheese, cooled espresso, and rum until smooth. Fold this mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
7. Once the cupcakes are cool, use a cupcake corer or small spoon to carve out a shallow hole in the top of each cupcake. Fill each hole with a spoonful of the Tiramisu topping, then pipe or spread additional topping all over the top of the cupcake. Dust each cupcake with cocoa powder before serving.

Conclusion

These Tiramisu Cupcakes are a delicious blend of creamy, coffee-kissed flavor and cakey goodness. They’re the perfect dessert to enjoy on a lazy afternoon with a cup of espresso or to serve at the end of a special meal. Remember, baking is part art, part science, so take your time, follow the steps carefully, and enjoy the process.
