Espresso Yourself with Cupcakes

Hey thanks for tuning in for my first cupcake blog! Each week I'm going to do my best to give my blog posts a cheesy and/or punny name. It's pretty much just to amuse myself if I'm honest. 
If you hadn't already guessed, I made some espresso cupcakes last week. I made them for a friend who has been going through a rough time lately to espresso my deepest sympathies (ya see what I did there?). I topped them with cream cheese frosting and dusted them with cocoa powder! They were delicious and just as simple to make as any other run of the mill cupcake from scratch. Well enough blabbing from me. I'll give you what you really came here for!

Here's the recipe!

Ingredients:
□1 c sugar
□2 whole eggs
□1-1/4 c all-purpose flour 
□1/2 c milk 
□1/4 c butter (melted & cooled)
□2 tbsp vegetable oil
□1-1/4 tsp baking 
□1 tbsp instant espresso
□1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
■Preheat oven to 350°
■Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners
■Combine completely sugar and eggs
■Add other wet ingredients and combine completely
■Sift in dry ingredients and mix on medium until incorporated 
■Fill cups 1/2 - 2/3 of the way full
■Bake for 18-20 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and have it come out 
clean

Tips, Tricks, and Helpful Hints:
☆This recipe makes about 12 regular cupcakes
☆ I baked mine for about 15 minutes so watch them!
☆ I put an extra 1/2 tbsp of the instant espresso in mine and they were a little potent but I prefer that!

I had fun making these cupcakes! Even my picky husband liked them! If you try out this recipe and like it, let me know! And as always, your own tips, tricks, and helpful hints are always welcome!

Let your delicious creative genius out! ❤
