Celebratory Espresso Cupcakes

Kankana Saxena celebrates one year as a food blogger with some delicious espresso cupcakes.
By Kankana Saxena

Few days back on 2nd Jan, my blog became 1 year old and it definitely called for a celebration. I wanted to bake something simple and something not too sweet at the same time.

After giving a good thought, I decided to make some espresso cupcakes and these came out just so perfect. It was not too sweet and the combination of espresso with dark chocolate made it rich and so flavorful! What I like most with my coffee is some whipped cream and I did exactly the same with these cup cakes too. So, for frosting there was whipped cream and lots of whipped cream.
