Ingredients
- 1 box Vanilla cake mix
- 3 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 8 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2
Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package instructions, using the eggs, vegetable oil, and water.
Step 3
Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 5
Once cooled, poke small holes into the tops of the cupcakes using a toothpick or fork. Brush the tops generously with the cooled brewed coffee, allowing it to soak into the cake.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix, as the mixture can become grainy.
Step 7
Transfer the mascarpone frosting into a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip. Pipe the frosting onto the tops of each cupcake.
Step 8
Dust the frosted cupcakes evenly with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
Step 9
Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious tiramisu cupcakes!
