1 large Egg binds ingredients together.
0.5 cups Milk adds moisture to the batter.
0.5 cups Vegetable oil ensures these cupcakes are moist.
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract adds depth of flavor.
1 cup Boiling water makes the batter smooth and rich.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper wrappers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients until evenly blended.
Add in the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is completely smooth.
Pour the batter into the lined cupcake pan, filling each about ⅔ full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and coffee until smooth.
Once cool, cut each cupcake in half, fill with the mascarpone mixture, and top with the other half.
Dust the tops lightly with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Do not overmix to avoid dense cupcakes. Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
