This chocolate coffee cupcakes recipe is a must-try, especially for coffee lovers. Enjoy the perfect combination of moist, fluffy cupcakes with rich hints of brown sugar, chocolate, and coffee. To achieve the perfect coffee taste, I highly recommend you to make an espresso shot from your favorite coffee beans instead of using instant coffee. This will give the cupcakes a more authentic coffee flavor.

Ingredients substitute

In case you run out or prefer alternatives, here are some substitutes:
Brown sugar – could be swapped for regular white sugar, honey, agave syrup, or stevia.
Chocolate – use milk or dark chocolate, but choose high-quality chocolate to get the best cupcake taste.
Butter – could be swapped to margarine or olive oil.

If you prefer fully coffee cupcakes, replace chocolate with additional 20ml of espresso. If you desire fully chocolate cupcakes, try my chocolate cupcake recipe. Experiment with these simple alternatives to tailor your cupcakes to your taste preferences.

Storing and freezing

Storing: Once the cupcakes are baked, let them cool down then, place in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezing: If you need to freeze the cupcakes, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container before placing them in the freezer. Good up to one month, but don’t recommend freezing them as fresh always tastes better.
