Ingredients
Cupcake Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 3/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tbsp Coffee Granules instant
- 1 cup Water
Chocolate Ganache Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 3/4 cup Chocolate chopped, dark
- 1 tbsp Butter unsalted
- 12 Cupcake Liners
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Make the Coffee Mixture
- In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the hot water. Set aside to cool slightly.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Coffee and Fill Liners
- Gently fold in the cooled coffee mixture. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
Bake the Cupcakes
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely in the tin before frosting.
Make the Chocolate Ganache
- In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Let stand for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth and creamy. Stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.
Cool and Frost the Cupcakes
- Cover the ganache and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, you can frost the cupcakes. You may wish to use a piping bag for a professional look, or simply spread the ganache on top of the cupcakes.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve your delicious eggless cafe mocha cupcakes and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Cupcakes
- For extra chocolatey flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tough cupcakes.
- If your ganache is too thick, add a teaspoon of hot cream at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Allow the ganache to cool completely before frosting for best results; a slightly thickened ganache will pipe or spread more easily.
