vanilla latte — Housewife's Whimsy

These cupcakes received rave reviews from everyone who tried them. They are chock full of real coffee and espresso powder. If you love coffee you will adore these cupcakes. The icing is what really makes the cake though; it gives the perfect amount of sweet coffee flavor that makes your mouth sing.You can use whatever type of coffee you like in these cupcakes. We don’t typically drink coffee here at my house so I just used a k-cup from my Kurig. You will simply want to make sure the coffee is strong. When you mix it with the other ingredients it will dilute the taste.If you’re not familiar with my method of icing cupcakes I’ve put together a short tutorial for you. You can find it here. I’ve used espresso powder as a garnish on these. You can easily sprinkle it on by taking a fine mesh sieve and using that to sprinkle the powder over the cupcakes. This is an optional step but will really amp up the coffee flavor. Another option for garnish would be a chocolate covered espresso bean. I didn’t have any of those on hand, but it would be another cute way to garnish these cupcakes. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:62]
