sugar 1 cup




egg 2




salt 1/4 tsp




baking soda 1/4 tsp




coco powder 2 tbsp




vanilla extract 1 tsp




milk 3tbsp




oil 1/3 cup




instant coffee 3 tbsp




warm water 1 cup











Topping:












whipping cream  1 cup




icing sugar 2 tbsp




coco powder 1 tbsp











Method:












Preheat oven on 180 degrees C.











Line a cupcake tray with liners.











Mix coffee with warm water in a cup and set aside.










Combine flour, baking soda, coco powder and salt in a bowl.









Cream together oil, egg, vanilla extract, milk and sugar until smooth.








Stir in the coffee mixture and whisk well or blend with a blender to make it smooth.







Now stir in the flour mixture and combine well just for 1 minute.









Pour the batter evenly in the lined cupcake tray.










Bake for  20 minutes or until a thin skewer inserted in the center comes out dry.







Let the cupcakes cool completely.











For Topping:












Whisk the cream until soft, add icing sugar, coco powder and continue to mix until it forms stiff peaks. 







Top each cupcake with the cream.











Makes 14 of 10 cm.












Note: If you follow the method describe above for the topping you should get a very puffy and inflated texture. I was in a rush so did not whisk enough therefore the picture you see doesn’t show the expected topping.
