Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Espresso powder or instant coffee
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.75 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin pan with liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and espresso powder, mixing well.
Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a small scoop or spoon, fill the mini muffin wells about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and cool them completely on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a splash of milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Once the muffins are fully cooled, spread a dollop of the mascarpone mixture on top of each muffin.
Lightly dust the tops with cocoa powder using a fine sieve. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
