• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
• 2 tablespoons vodka
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the milk, coffee liqueur, and vodka.

Step 6

Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Step 10

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer until fluffy.

Step 11

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 12

Mix in the coffee liqueur, vodka, and heavy cream. Beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

Step 13

Using a piping bag or an offset spatula, frost the cooled cupcakes as desired.

Step 14

Optional: Garnish with a light drizzle of coffee liqueur or chocolate curls for extra flair.
