Homemade Mocha Cupcakes Recipe

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!
