Ingredients

140 g caster sugar
140 g butter
3 free-range eggs
140 g self-raising flour
2 T instant coffee dissolved in 1 T hot water

For Icing

250 g butter
250 g icing sugar sifted
2 T instant coffee
1 T hot water

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with cupcake cases.

2 Cream the sugar and butter until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the flour and coffee. Spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases until three-quarters full.

3 Bake for 10–15 minutes, then allow to cool.

4 To make the icing, cream the butter and icing sugar. Divide the icing in half and add the coffee to one bowl of icing and mix well.

5 Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a rose-tip nozzle, alternating the two colours, then pipe onto the cupcakes.
