JavaCupcake’s “Spiced Mocha Cupcakes topped with Spiced Buttercream“

Makes approx. 28 cupcakes

Cupcakes
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs at room temperature

1 cup very hot strong/bold coffee

1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
¾ cup dark chocolate cocoa powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp all spice

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line pans with foil or paper liners.
• Mix oil, sugars, cream and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
• Beat on medium for about 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl.
• Sift dry ingredients together.
• Sift them again.  Make sure all the flour and cocoa are thoroughly combined and all clumps are gone and the mixture is very fine.
• Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in three parts, scraping the sides of the bowl and thoroughly mixing after each.
• Beat for about 2 minutes on medium-high speed.
• Add the hot coffee and mix until just blended.  DO NOT BE ALARMED, mixture will be thin. Scrape sides & bottom of the bowl.
• Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full.
• Bake 15 minutes, rotate pan 180 degrees, and bake an additional 5-7 minutes.
• Do not over bake! Cupcakes will be done when there are air bubbles in the center and it springs back to the touch.
• Leave in the pan 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Buttercream

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 lbs (1 bag) powdered sugar
¼ – ½ cup of milk

• In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter.
• One cup at a time, add the powdered sugar.  Between each cup, add a splash of milk.   Mix until smooth & scrape down the sides after each addition
• Before the last cup of sugar, add the vanilla.  Mix until smooth.
• With the last cup of sugar, add the all spice.  Mix until smooth.
• Add any remaining milk until you get the texture and consistency you want. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
• Mix on high for 4-5 minutes.
