Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 standard cupcake pans with liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Sift flour, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, baking soda, and nutmeg together in a bowl. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, beat butter, vegetable oil, and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, vanilla, and almond extract and beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes. Add in half of flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add in sour cream and milk, and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Divide batter amongst the prepared cupcake pans, filling each liner just over 1/2 full. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes begin to turn golden brown and tops spring back when lightly touched, 22 to 26 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. (66 minutes)

05

Step

For coffee syrup, mix together hot water, espresso powder, sugar, and coffee liqueur until combined. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Use a toothpick to poke several holes in the top of each cupcake. Carefully pour about 1 tablespoon of the coffee soak over the top of each cupcake. (5 minutes)

07

Step

For mascarpone frosting: beat butter with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in 1 cup confectioner’s sugar until combined. Add in remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, and salt; beat until totally smooth and combined. Add in heavy cream, and beat on medium speed until frosting is smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in cold mascarpone and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not beat longer or frosting will curdle and separate. Pipe or frost cupcakes as desired. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Place cocoa powder into a fine mesh sieve and gently sift cocoa powder over the top of frosted cupcakes. Refrigerate cupcakes for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store cupcakes in the refrigerator. (35 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise specified for optimal emulsification and a smooth batter.
When adding the mascarpone to the frosting, be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the frosting to become grainy.
For a boozier kick, increase the amount of coffee liqueur in the coffee soak to your preference.

    Be careful not to overmix the frosting after adding the mascarpone, or it will curdle.
