Storing and freezing
Storing: Once the cupcakes are baked, it’s important to store them properly so they stay fresh for longer. To store, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. Good up to 5 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 taste better.

FAQ
While you can use instant coffee, the cupcakes won’t have as strong of a coffee flavor as they would with an espresso shot.
Yes, you can use any type of chocolate you prefer, but using one with at least 50% cacao will help balance the sweetness of the cupcakes. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can skip the chocolate altogether.
You can use white sugar as a substitute for brown sugar, but it’s worth noting that brown sugar has a hint of caramel that can help bring out the coffee flavor in the cupcakes.
