Ingredients
  

For the Cupcakes
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Swap for more all-purpose flour to keep it nut-free.
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter Feel free to use vegan butter for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Using brown sugar can add a lovely depth.
  • 2 large eggs For vegan options, choose suitable egg replacements.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Greek yogurt is a great swap for a light option.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Melted coconut oil is a nice alternative.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp instant espresso powder Strong brewed coffee works too.

Method
 

Cupcake Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tray with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Sift to prevent lumps.
  3. Cream the butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, then stir in sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Divide the batter in half; mix instant espresso powder into one half.
  7. Spoon the plain and espresso-infused batters alternately into the liners for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in tin for 5 minutes.
  9. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Beat softened butter until creamy, then mix in mascarpone and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  11. Pipe mascarpone frosting onto cooled cupcakes and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
  12. Enjoy your delicious Tiramisu Cupcakes!
