Maida - 1 1/2 cup

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Baking powder- 1/2 tsp

Baking soda - 1/4 tsp

Butter - 1/4 cup

Sugar - 1/2 cup

Brown sugar - 1/4 cup

Salt - a pinch

Method:

• Start by preparing the coffee concoction. Add 2 tablespoons of coffee powder and brew a concentrated shot. 
• To make the batter for the cupcakes, whisk some butter in a bowl and add white and brown sugar. Whisk again to mix the ingredients. When the sugar is well-mixed with the butter, add one egg and sour cream. Whisk the ingredients once again.
• Add the dry ingredients and pour the concentrated coffee concoction into the mixture. Whisk until all the ingredients are properly mixed.
• Take cupcake moulds and place cupcake papers. Pour the batter. Bake at 180C for about 20-25 minutes.
• As the cupcakes get ready in the oven, prepare the buttercream. With a whisker, beat some butter, condensed milk and vanilla extract. Keep whisking till soft peaks form. Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, let them cool down and pipe the frosting on each. Your delicious coffee cupcakes are ready!
