These delicate cupcakes contain coffee syrup made with Nielsen-Massey coffee extract, perfect for special occasions.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4). Line two cupcake trays with cupcake cases.

  2. Using either an electric mixer or mixing bowl and whisk, beat the butter and sugars together until pale and fluffy, then whisk in the coffee extract and coffee.

  3. Reduce the whisk speed and slowly add the eggs, along with a tbsp of the flour to prevent it from curdling.

  4. Add the remaining flour and then using either a piping bag or ice-cream scoop, divide the batter between the cupcake cases and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Leave the cakes to cool a little on a wire rack.

  5. To make the syrup, place the golden caster sugar in a pan with the strong coffee. Simmer for a few minutes until dissolved, then take off the heat and set aside to cool. Once cool stir in 1tsp of coffee extract.

  6. Add some sugar syrup to the top of each cupcake.

  7. To ice, put the cream cheese, butter, coffee extract, coffee and golden icing sugar in a mixing bowl and slowly mix together until light and fluffy. Place in a piping bag and ice accordingly.
