Visual Cues & Timing Secrets
Start by whisking your dry ingredients so there are no lumps—this is my little trick for a smooth batter. Then add the wet ingredients and mix just until combined; overmixing makes cupcakes tough, and we want them light. The batter will be thin, almost like a milkshake, and that’s exactly right.
Fill your liners about two-thirds full—a cookie scoop makes this easy and mess-free. Bake until the tops spring back when touched, and let them cool completely before frosting. For the frosting, whip the cream until soft peaks, then add the coffee and sugar, and keep beating until stiff—it should hold its shape beautifully when you pipe it.
