Coffee Cupcakes ( Makes 12 Cupcakes)


This was another recipe i did at my cupcake sale. I was thinking of all different kinds of recipes to make for my cupcake sale, and then i had a marvelous idea! Coffee Cupcakes.. This is one of my favourites. A Customer
asked me ” Are kids allowed to have a Coffee Cupcake” I said they can if they
like.Because anyone can have these types of cupcakes kids or adults. They can have a lot of coffee if you like. All you have to do is add more coffee to the recipe. These cupcakes do have the taste of Coffee in them and they are mouth watering!
