Indulgent Tiramisu Cupcakes – made with a vanilla cake and espresso cake base, a rich and fluffy mascarpone frosting, and kissed atop with a dusting of deep cocoa.All the flavors we love in classic tiramisu transformed into a tempting cupcake! Making the Best Tiramisu Cupcakes When I first started out testing these tiramisu cupcakes I tried going with several options that included steps mimicking those of traditional tiramisu.One of them was brushing the baked cupcakes with the liquid espresso but in doing so ended up with a soggy cupcake atop.

So the simple fix was to simply include some espresso powder into half the cupcake batter and this left them with a better overall texture and deeply infused flavor baked in.Since classic tiramisu includes a fair amount of egg yolks I opted for a cupcake batter that included more of them.So while those rich custardy flavors may not come from what is traditionally in the mascarpone filling you’ll still find it within the cupcake.

And the cupcake base simply replaces the lady fingers of tiramisu.For the liquid of the cupcake these use both milk and buttermilk for some added flavor, but they only use half buttermilk so that it’s not overpowering the delicate flavor of the mascarpone frosting.And for the cocoa finish I recommend adding plenty, because – chocolate! Who doesn’t love that additional flavor? Make these for your next celebration or weekend treat.

They are such a heavenly cupcake! Tiramisu Recipe Ing
