Espresso Cupcakes
Espresso Cupcakes are a unique cupcake recipe that combines the bold flavor of espresso, sweet and fluffy cupcakes, and a rich espresso buttercream frosting. It’s the perfect dessert recipe for coffee lovers.
Coffee shop meets bakery with these espresso cupcakes! I just love the combo of flavors in these sweet treats: the bitter coffee flavor is balanced out by the sweet cupcakes and buttery frosting on top. They’re definitely a step up from your run-of-the-mill cupcakes, especially if you love a cup of joe!
