  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

  2. Prepare the Cupcake Batter: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream the butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla, then mix in dry ingredients and milk. Divide batter into liners and bake.
  3. Soak the Cupcakes: Once cooled, poke holes in cupcakes and spoon coffee soak over each.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, skip the coffee liqueur.
  • Cupcakes can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Let them sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
