The Mocha Cupcakes Recipe is oh so delicious. These cupcakes are moist and have every bit of the mocha flavoring. I love my coffee and with this cupcake, I get that taste. It is not overpowering so you can still enjoy this delicious cupcake. It is a wonderful treat for anyone who loves chocolate and loves coffee. The cupcakes and frosting together make a great tasting Coffee and Chocolate taste.
I am usually not one that likes to eat while I am drinking coffee. I know that may seem weird or odd, even I can’t explain it. I think it may be because I can’t really taste my food as much due to the coffee taste. With these cupcakes, I can still drink my coffee and eat them at the same time. I think it is more because they have coffee in the ingredients of the frosting. You will have to make these delicious Mocha Cupcakes to understand what I am talking about and to see how great they taste. Coffee is not overpowering at all. Neither is the chocolate, but together they are amazing!
