Ingredients
  

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brewed coffee cooled

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar:
  • In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla:
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and brewed coffee into the butter mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients.
  • Fill Cupcake Liners:
  • Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about ¾ full.
  • Bake:
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Prepare Frosting:
  • Beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar, cinnamon, brewed coffee, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Frost the Cupcakes:
  • Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them generously with the cinnamon coffee frosting.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Eat while pretending to be an expert in both coffee and baked goods.
