Espresso Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

.


Making cupcakes is a nice alternative to baking a cake in that there is not cutting or slicing needed and it takes a fraction of the time in the oven, so your house does not heat up as much. We love desserts and are trying new recipes this summer. Here is one I found in Cupcakes, by Ceri Hadda.


Espresso Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

1 1/3 cup Flour
½ tsp Baking powder
½ tsp Baking soda
¼ tsp Salt
1 cup Mini chocolate chips

6 tbsp Butter
1/3 cup Brown sugar
1/3 cup White sugar
1 Egg
3 tbsp Espresso powder
1 tsp Vanilla

½ cup Milk

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Cream butter and sugars till fluffy, add the egg, espresso powder and vanilla in mix well.

Combine the dry ingredients and milk alternately to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.

Bake at 350 for 15 - 18 minutes. Makes 12 cupcakes.

  7. I am probably one of the very few that does not like anything with coffee flavor! Too bad for me, yes, I hear you all saying that.

    But I can still have lots of your recipe favorites by just changing that one ingredient. I know, it isn't the same, but it works for me.

    I apologize for being weird, but then that's me. I don't like the flavor of cola either. Please don't abandon me, I still need friends!! lol.......... And I do LOVE Chocolate......... That should get me some friend points....... Right?!

    Have a wonderful weekend and really thanks for sharing, because these (except for the Espresso Powder) sound heavenly.
