my mom recently requested that i make some kahlua cupcakes for her. i googled for a recipe and, what do know, annie's eats had one! she's the genius behind the margarita cupcakes i made a few weeks ago, too. i followed the recipe exactly until the frosting, where i used about 4 teaspoons of coffee extract instead of the kahlua that she called for. i think brushing the cakes with kahlua is enough for me and we just so happen to already have coffee extract. the recipe also calls for instant espresso powder which, according to the comments on that recipe, isn't usually found in a regular grocery store but may be found at some specialty shops. well good news for texas residents, they have it at HEB! it really is the best grocery store in the world. anyway, here are some pictures!
key ingredients, kahlua and instant espresso powder
fresh out of the oven with holes poked and brushed with kahlua
coco is going to help me get rid of the rest of the kahlua
and the final product
i'm not even the biggest fan of coffee but these are unbelievable! and, look, i finally used my fancy camera in the kitchen!
