One of my favorite flavor combos is coffee and chocolate. One of my favorite things to do is bake. Say hello to Mocha Brownie Cupcakes.
During the lazy days of summer I like to experiment in my baking. I seem to have more time to play around in the kitchen. My baking time is not interrupted as much and I play to my hearts content.
I had a blast using coffee and flavored creamers.
Did you see the Mocha Caramel Macchiato Shooters I posted?
Or what about the Mocha Iced Coffee Shake?
Those two recipes are guaranteed to cool you off during the sweltering heat of summer.
Ingredient Notes
- coffee: use your favorite coffee or even espresso you would drink. You can even use flavored coffee.
- vanilla extract: as usual I used my homemade vanilla extract. If you would like to make your own extract check out my DIY Vanilla Extract recipe for step by step photos and instructions.
- butter: for the best results use real butter.
What better way is there to make some cupcakes? I love the way these cupcakes turned out.
The flavor of mocha is infused into the cupcake and frosting.
