Mocha Cupcakes

Steps

1. 1

   Begin by combining the cake mix, oil, coffee, water, and eggs. Mix this well and then prepare as instructed on the cake mix box. This will make 24 cupcakes.

2. 2

   While these are baking beat together the whipping cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. This will beat for about 3-5 minutes or until the texture becomes similar to canned whipped cream. I usually put this in my mixer with the whisk attachment on HI for 3-5 minutes. If it is not fully whipped let it go longer.

3. 3

   Next, fill a cake decorator bag with the whipped cream using a Wilton 1M tip for the swirl. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled decorate them. I used the cinnamon to garnish them as well as some edible pearl dust.

4. 4

   Eat these immediately or refrigerate to keep the whipped cream stiff.
