How to Make Tiramisu Cupcakes :
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven and lining a cupcake pan with paper liners. This helps the cupcakes bake evenly and makes cleanup easier later and in a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside so it is ready to add to the batter.

Step 2
After that in a larger bowl cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step helps make the cupcakes soft. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one, then stir in the vanilla extract then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in parts, alternating with the milk.
Mix gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix or the cupcakes may become dense.
Step 3
Next up divide the batter evenly into the cupcake liners and bake until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely and once cooled, gently brush or spoon brewed coffee over the tops of the cupcakes.

This gives them the classic tiramisu flavor without making them soggy.
Step 4
Once it’s all done for the frosting, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl mix the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until light and fluffy and spread or pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.

Finish by lightly dusting the tops with cocoa powder just before serving.
