These delicious homemade Chocolate espresso cupcakes recipe are easy to create. Tasty Oven Bake idea for a chocoholic and frosted with espresso buttercream icing for the best dessert to serve. A recipe for a rich and decadent light and fluffy espresso dark chocolate cupcake.

Why do you put espresso in a chocolate cake?

Pure dark cocoa powder or chocolate tends to be bitter so adding some expresso in the mix will balance out the bitterness and the acidity. Plus it gives it such a tasty flavor you will love it.

What is the difference between a chocolate muffin and a chocolate cupcake?

The difference between cupcake and a muffin is that cupcakes have more sugar in the ingredients to muffins. Muffins do not have as much sugar in. Cupcakes are also decorated with sweet flavored icing or frostings for a delicious sweet dessert. Muffins can be healthier with added fruits and they do not get iced, but could have streusel sprinkled on the tops.

Is cupcake batter the same as muffin batter?

No, cupcake batter is lighter and fluffier and smoother than muffin batter. They also contain more sugar. Muffin batter is thicker and has a more dense unsweetened batter. Muffins do not get iced.

Is it OK to make cupcakes without liners?

Yes, it is totally ok to make cupcakes without liners. That is if you place the mixture in a greased muffin pan. But you could still place the liners in the muffin pans, then fill with the mixture and bake. Only problem with having no liners the batter of the cupcakes might stick to the pan, as they contain a lot more sugar.
