Chocolate Mocha Mousse Filled Cupcakes
adapted from Janet Is Hungry

1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled

56 grams chocolate
1 tbsp strong brewed coffee
3/4 cup cream

Mocha buttercream to frost (divide recipe by 3)

Make coffee first so that it has time to cool.

Preheat oven to 350F/180C and line or grease two 12 cup muffin tins.

Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl beat together the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until creamy. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients beating just until incorporated. Mix in coffee until smooth (don’t overmix).

Fill 12-18 of the muffin tins with batter. Bake at 350F/180C for 22-24 minutes, until tester comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely on racks.

Make filling, heat cream until hot and pour of chocolate. Leave for a minute and then stir. Cool, then beat until thick.

Cut a cone from the top, fill each cupcake with filling and replace the reserved cones (or not). Chill.

Make buttercream frosting and pipe on.
