Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Dissolve the instant coffee granules in boiling water, then add to the butter mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk, alternating between the two, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
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.
-
In a medium bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with the mocha frosting. Enjoy!
