Mocha Cupcakes Recipe - Moist Chocolate Coffee Cupcakes Recipe

I could stand here looking at these cupcakes and get lost. I am a chocolate lover, especially when it is combined with coffee. It is just one of those things that really make me weak. The coffee truly enhances the chocolate in these cupcakes and makes them so tasty.

These cupcakes are eggless and they taste way more moist and delicious than regular ones. I am sure this one is going to be in my repertoire. This is a great recipe for any party or celebration, easy yet so delicious. I just used simple chocolate syrup or sauce for topping; you can go one step further and use any frosting you like.

If you are a coffee lover, use strong coffee. If you are not much of a coffee person, use slightly weak coffee. If caffeine is an issue, use decaf. You can use any type of coffee in this recipe! The coffee and salt enhances the chocolate in these cupcakes and make them tastier.

I was really happy when i received mail from Gourmesso.com to sample their coffee products. I happily accepted it because i love anything coffee. Then they send me some of their amazing coffee products and i am enjoying every bit of them.

Gourmesso is the leading provider of Nespresso compatible capsules. They offer a selection of 25 unique blends, the majority of which are Fair-Trade certified. Their products are 30% less expensive than other products. To put it simply, they are passionate about their coffee.

I sampled all of the coffee they sent and loved it! I also used them in my recipes and got an equally delicious outcome.
