Moist, sweet and irresistible chocolate coffee cupcakes made with cold brewed coffee and frosted with coffee flavored buttercream. Now you can drink your coffee and eat it too!
I used to be a black tea lover, that is when my little princess took 2-3 naps a day and I had time to sit down and relax for a minute or two. But those days are over. There are no more naps, the to-do list is longer than ever and I’m always on the run. That’s when coffee came into the picture.
I drink coffee first thing in the morning, coffee after lunch and one more cup after dinner. 3 cups of coffee and lots of chocolate are what keeps me going day after day.
Enjoying a cup of coffee while watching my little princess playing hopscotch in front of the house the idea of adding coffee to a sweet treat came to mind. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know it’s not the first time I use coffee in sweet treats. From cupcakes to rolls and even brownies – I love eating my coffee, not just drinking it.
For these cupcakes I used a cup of cold brewed coffee in the batter and a few drops, just to add a little flavor, in the frosting as well.

I love chocolate and enjoy coffee aroma. These cupcakes combine great flavors and are a delight to the senses. Gorgeous photos, Roxana!
Ooh! I am with you, Roxy! Baking with fresh, non-bitter brewed coffee ROCKS! Just knocks my socks off with chocolate treats. (Started doing that since reading my first copies of Maida Heatter’s iconic baking cookbooks!) Lovely recipe and photos as always! I’ve missed you while you were away from the blog. Glad to have you back! xo
These cupcakes are so amazing!
I am not a coffee drinker, but I love the flavor in baked goods…and in cafe’ mochas! These cupcakes are perfect, they have both flavors 🙂
Looks delicious, thanks for sharing.

Yep, I could pretty much live on chocolate and coffee! I may have to cut back on my morning coffee and eat these gorgeous cupcakes instead!
Oh wow! Those look amazingly delicious!
These look great! Coffe and chocolate make a great combination together!
Gorgeous cupcakes! Wish I was a coffee fan!
Chocolate and coffee in the same cupcake is my dream come true! 🙂
I’ve been craving a coffee dessert. These would definitely hit the spot! Love it!
SUPER delish cupcakes Roxana!
Love that you worked so much coffee into these babies! Can’t go wrong with chocolate…and coffee!
So, since these have coffee I can have them for breakfast, right? Hehe. Lovely recipe, Roxana. I love the flavors!
Coffee gives chocolate that extra rich flavor. That’s what The Barefoot Contessa always says. These look delicious. Great photo too!
I love coffee desserts and these are gorgeous!
Those look and sound divine! I love your little cupcake stands. They are precious.
Yes, I am a coffee lover. And yes, I would love to get an extra caffeine fix from these cupcakes. They look gorgeous!
These sound so delicious Roxanna! I could see trading in a cup of coffee for a fabulous cupcake, same number of calories and carbs, right? 🙂
I was led to your site by Pinterest, and I must say, it’s amazing! Thanks for all the fabulous recipes! I’m about to start on a couple right now (:
I’d like to try these, I love coffee flavored anything……….. quick question, can cake flour be substituted for all purpose flour?
thank you
stella
Hi Stella,
I’m pretty sure it can. The cupcakes will probably be a little lighter and maybe whiter due to the cornstarch in the cake flour. If you try, please let me know how they turn out.
Happy baking
Roxana

I have a cupcake blog called My Year of Cupcakes. I featured your Chocolate Coffee Cupcakes recipe on day 108. Here’s the link if you wanna take a look: http://myyearofcupcakes.com/2013/11/16/day-108-chocolate-coffee-cupcakes-2/
Thanks for the yummy recipe!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! I am doing a lot of baking, trying to earn money to visit one of our Compassion children in Colombia. My friends said I could bake these all summer and have all of my funds in no time 😉
Does it have to be Gevalia coffee?
no. You can use your favorite coffee brand
These are amazing. Do you happen to know the calories in each cupcake though?
Thanks Maia. Unfortunately, I do not offer nutritional information for my recipes. I know there are a few online calculator to help you with that, but I can’t recommend any since I don’t use them
Thank you so much for the awesome recipe! It was so yummy and my family loved it. Love your recipes!
Hi Roxana I would loved to make this cupcake it really looks delicious. Im looking for a couple of days for the best cupcakes recipe and i think this is it. can you give me some tips or how does it taste? its my first time to make my own cupcake im afraid i’ll fail. haha thank you 🙂
Hi Celyn,
I’m flattered you decided to bake these cupcakes after searching the internet for the best cupcakes. These are not too chocolatey not do they have a strong coffee flavor. But they are moist and soft, just like a cupcake should be and the balance between chocolate and coffee is perfect!
Happy baking,
Roxana
