Scale

  3. Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. Pour batter in cupcake liners.
  5. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Ensure your coffee is brewed strongly and warm, but not boiling hot for the best flavor.
