Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix in milk and add eggs one at a time.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Carefully stir in hot coffee to the batter.
- Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- In a clean bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Core out a small section from the center of each cupcake and fill with the whipped cream mixture.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or colorful sprinkles.

Notes
Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for optimal rise. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense cupcakes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
