A Fine Day For Baking

Ah, baking on a crisp, cool day, singing along to show tunes while whipping up frosting. This is the life.



MOCHA CUPCAKES







These I made in honor of my [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit, who endures the shmoopy nickname "Mocha Cupcake" that I gave him. I think he might even like it. Hope he likes these!

You can use any chocolate cake recipe you want, or a mix. To make it mocha, I dissolved about 10 teaspoons of instant coffee in a few tablespoons of warm water and added it to the batter. You can also use powdered espresso. The frosting is vanilla frosting with the same instant coffee concentrate added. But if you love chocolate you can mocha-ize chocolate frosting, too!

So these are actual caffeinated cupcakes! I brought then to a party where people were going to be staying up late. Hope it helped!
