Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 160°C (320°F). This temperature is ideal for creating moist and fluffy cupcakes.
Line a cupcake tray with 12 paper liners to prepare for baking.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir them thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
Gradually add in large eggs one at a time, ensuring they are at room temperature. Mix well after each addition.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Add the sour cream, neutral oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Divide this mixture in half.
Step 4
To one half of the batter, add the instant coffee and stir until combined.
Now, alternate spoonfuls of both batters into each cupcake liner. Use a toothpick to create a swirl pattern, enhancing the visual appeal.
Step 5
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once baked, allow them to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
For the cream, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and seeds from the vanilla bean in a mixing bowl.
Whip until soft peaks form, ensuring it stays light and creamy.
Step 7
Once the cupcakes are cool, soak each one with 1-2 teaspoons of espresso for that authentic tiramisu flavor.
Generously pipe the prepared cream on top of each cupcake and dust lightly with cocoa powder.
Servings
When it comes to serving these Tiramisu Cupcakes, presentation can elevate the experience! Place them on a beautiful platter, and sprinkle some cocoa powder on top for a hint of elegance. Pair them with a nice Espresso or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert combination. 🌟
These cupcakes are perfect for gatherings, parties, or a cozy night in. Imagine a candle-lit dinner followed by the joy of sharing these rich, coffee-infused treats with your loved ones. 💖✨
Don’t forget to get creative! Consider decorating them with chocolate shavings or a dusting of powdered sugar for that extra flair. The taste and beauty of these cupcakes are truly magnificent, making them a guaranteed hit wherever they appear.
Equipment
A standard 12-cup muffin tin works perfectly for baking these tiny delights. Make sure it's sturdy and can withstand high heat without warping.
For a beautiful frosting application, use a piping bag with a star tip. This will help you achieve that restaurant-quality finish. If you don’t have one, a plastic bag with the corner snipped works too!

Use multiple mixing bowls to keep dry and wet ingredients separate until it’s time to combine them. This ensures a smoother batter.
For fluffy batter and whipped cream, an electric mixer is ideal. But a good old whisk and some elbow grease also get the job done!
Variations
Want to shake things up? Here are some options to make these Tiramisu Cupcakes suitable for everyone!
Gluten-Free Version: Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure your baking powder and other additives are gluten-free as well! This way, even those with gluten sensitivities can enjoy this treat. 🌾🚫
Vegan Version: Use plant-based alternatives for the ingredients. For example, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons of water = 1 egg) and try coconut cream instead of mascarpone. The results will still be delicious and satisfying! 🌱💚
Faq
- What if my cupcakes don't rise?
If your cupcakes don't rise, it could be due to expired baking powder or a mismeasured ingredient. Double-check fresh ingredients and accurate measurements!
- Can I make the frosting in advance?
Absolutely! You can make the mascarpone frosting a day in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. Make sure to give it a good whip again before piping!
- What is the best way to soak the cupcakes in espresso?
Use a simple brush or a spoon to gently drizzle or brush the espresso over the tops of the cooled cupcakes. This will help them soak without falling apart!
- How can I achieve a light texture for the batter?
Be careful not to over-mix your batter once the dry and wet ingredients are combined. A few lumps are okay! This ensures your cupcakes remain light and fluffy.
- Can I freeze the cupcakes?
Yes, you can freeze the cupcakes without frosting! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. Thaw them before serving and frost fresh!
- What’s the best way to store leftover cupcakes?
Store your cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they're frosted, refrigerate them to maintain freshness.
