These Tiramisu Cupcakes are a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert. Soft vanilla cupcakes are soaked in coffee, topped with mascarpone frosting, and dusted with cocoa powder for a deliciously decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cupcakes:
    • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • For the Coffee Soak:
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
    • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • For the Mascarpone Frosting:
    • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, chilled
    • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
    • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Garnish:
    • Cocoa powder (for dusting)
    • Chocolate shavings or coffee beans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cupcakes:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with 12 liners.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Coffee Soak:
    • In a small bowl, mix the brewed coffee, coffee liqueur (if using), and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Soak the Cupcakes:
    • Using a toothpick or skewer, poke several holes in the top of each cooled cupcake.
    • Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the coffee mixture over each cupcake, allowing it to soak in.
  4. Make the Mascarpone Frosting:
    • In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until combined and smooth.
  5. Frost the Cupcakes:
    • Pipe or spread the mascarpone frosting onto the soaked cupcakes.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Dust the tops with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings or a coffee bean for decoration.
    • Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, double the amount of coffee soak per cupcake.
  • Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before soaking or frosting to prevent melting.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
