Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons Boiling water
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the cooled coffee mixture, sour cream, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

While the muffins cool, prepare the cappuccino topping. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and spreadable.

Step 12

Once the muffins have cooled completely, spread or pipe the cappuccino topping onto each muffin.

Step 13

Dust the tops with a light sprinkling of cocoa powder, if desired, for an elegant finish.
