Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Cupcakes

• Prepare the oven at 350 Fahrenheit to 175 degrees Celsius. Make sure to prepare cupcake papers, and grease a cupcake pan.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the Maida I say 3 tablespoons of Zee baking powder, and dan salt.
• In the second large bowl mix the butter and the sugar until it is pale and creamy. Finally, the eggs should be incorporated one by one then the vanilla extract mixed in the batter.
• Instead, switch between incorporating the dry ingredients and the milk making sure you start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
• This will require that the cupcake liners be filled with the batter up to two-thirds full.
• Bake for approximately one more quarter of an hour or more or less until the skewer that you inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool right through to the baker by placing them on a wire rack.

Prepare the Espresso Soak

• Now take a small bowl and add the brewed espresso, coffee liqueur if used and sugar. Mix it up until the sugar has dissolved into the mixture.
• Once the cupcakes are set, use the prongs of a fork or a toothpick to stab through the top surface of the cupcakes.
• Accompany the espresso mixture by using a brush or a spoon to spread it over the cupcakes, making certain that it is absorbed by the cupcake base.

Make the Mascarpone Frosting

• Then, in a large mixing bowl, whip the mascarpone cheese together with the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it is both light and stiff. The frosting should stand up to a stiff peak.
• Transfer the frosting to a piping bag with your desired tip.

Frost the Cupcakes

• Spoon a copious dollop of mascarpone frosting in each cupcake.
• Sift the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder if you’d like to have the tiramisu experience.
• It’s recommended to sprinkle some chocolate shavings over the frosting for extra richness.

Tips for Perfect Tiramisu Cupcakes

For the soak, you should prepare strong coffee or espresso for that tiramisu flavor.
Mascarpone frosting is the right choice for the cupcakes since it makes them taste like real tiramisu.
For added sweetness, try using less or more frosting for the cake or reduce/ increase the amount of espresso soak used.
To give the dish an adult appeal, pour some coffee liqueur mixture over the espresso-soaked bread before baking.
