  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

For the Coffee Soak:

  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare Cupcake Batter: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla, then mix in flour and milk. Divide batter into liners and bake for 18–20 minutes.
  3. Make Coffee Soak: Mix cooled coffee, sugar, and liqueur. Poke holes in cupcakes and spoon coffee mixture over them.
