Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Strong brewed coffee
• 0.75 cup Dulce de leche
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and strong brewed coffee. Mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a cupcake corer or a small knife to remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake.
10. Fill each hole with dulce de leche.
11. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, instant coffee granules, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth and creamy.
12. Pipe or spread the coffee-flavored frosting onto the cupcakes.
13. Drizzle additional dulce de leche on top for garnish, if desired.
14. Let the cupcakes rest for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
