CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH ESPRESSO BUTTERCREAM

Make the Frosting 

In a small bowl, whisk the espresso powder into the vanilla until dissolved; set aside.

Meanwhile, using the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, whip the butter on medium speed for few minutes,.

Reduce the speed to low and add the powdered sugar a little at a time. Increase the speed to high and whip until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the espresso and vanilla mixture and continue to mix at medium speed until it is completely incorporated. Transfer frosting to a piping bag and pipe onto completely cooled cupcakes and if you like – top with whole or chopped hazelnuts.

Serve and Enjoy.

NOTES

Most cake batters can be baked in paper-lined muffin cups for cupcakes.

Cupcakes can be frosted by dipping the top of each cupcake in frosting turn slightly and remove.
