Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of your electric mixer, combine cake mix, eggs, canola oil, coffee liqueur and 1/2 cup of whole milk. Mix according to package directions.
- Line cupcake pans with liners of your choice. For the standard sized cupcakes, measure a scant 1/4 cup of batter per cupcake liner. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until done and when pressed in the center with index finger springs back instead of leaving an indentation.
- While cupcakes cool completely, mix frosting. Beat the butter until creamy. Add 3 cups of powdered sugar and beat on low to combine. Add 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and beat well for 2 minutes. If the frosting is too runny and won't stand up to piping, add the other cup of powdered sugar. If frosting is too stiff, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after, until you reach the consistency you desire. The key to having a really good frosting is beating it at medium to high speed for at least 5 minutes.
- Once frosting is ready and cupcakes are cool, prepare your pastry bag with a 1M star tip, fill it with your frosting and apply to the cupcakes. After frosting the cupcakes, use a microplane to grate your favorite chocolate over the top to make them look pretty. If you like, you can also add a chocolate coated espresso bean at the top of each cupcake.
