Rich and moist chocolate coffee cupcakes studded with chocolate chips, filled with a luscious Bailey's pudding and topped with creamy Kahlua frosting.
Ingredients
Chocolate Coffee Cupcake
1½ Cups Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Sea Salt
⅓ Cup Cocoa Powder
½ Cup Olive Oil
1 Cup Water
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp White Vinegar
1 Pack Starbucks Via Instant Coffee
½ Cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Chocolate Chips
Bailey’s Pudding:
1 Cup Origiinal Bailey’s
1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
2 Egg Yolks
Kahlua Frosting
¼ Cup Unsalted Butter
½ Cup Kahlua Coffee Liquor
4 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
¼ tsp. Sea Salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º.
For cupcakes:
Mix all dry ingredients together.
In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Set 12 Cupcake liners in a muffin pan and fill with batter ¾ full.
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. You can make these a day ahead and store in the fridge. Cupcakes should be fully cooled before adding the pudding filling.
Bailey’s Pudding:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add Bailey’s and stir, allowing it to come to a simmer. About 5 minutes.
In a separate heat-safe bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks.
Slowly ladle some of the heated Bailey’s into the yolks and whisk continuously. Slowly add yolk mixture back into Bailey’s mixture and bring it to a boil. It will reduce and most likely start to separate.
Allow it to boil for about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and continue to stir.
When cooled to a warm temperature, transfer to the blender and give it a whirrrrr until well mixed.
Pour into a bowl.
When pudding reaches a lukewarm temperature, use a syringe to inject pudding into the cupcakes. I purchased a 5 mL syringe from the drug store… It’s skinny, so it doesn’t ruin the cupcake. I filled it and injected the cupcakes 3 times each. Make sure your push the syringe into the center of the cupcake. Place the cupcakes back in the fridge to set.
For Kahlua Frosting:
Cream butter.
Alternate mixing Kahlua and Powdered Sugar until desired consistency is reached. You may not need all of the powdered sugar, and you may need a little more. Add vanilla and salt, mix well.
You can spread or pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake.
