Coffee Crumble Cupcake

It’s easy to fall in love with cupcake, by its size and decoration plus easy to eat. This recipe is an adaptation recipe from デイリーマフィン&おめかしカップケーキ (Daily muffin & Decoration cup cake) by Kaori Ishibashi (I already wrote about it, you can read about it here). As I told you when I tell you about the book, this is my own mix and match. Start with coffee cupcake, I added the coffee crumble, which turn this cupcake into lovely cake for my sister (I know you can remember her passion for crumble on top of everything), plus it easy to enjoy than butter cream (and easier to make too). This is a small recipe so you will get only 6 cupcakes but I have to tell you that the taste of the coffee is not so small. So, grab all the ingredient, preheat the oven and you will get a delicious coffee cupcake in less than one hour (and I love the fact that, it’s ready to eat immediately after coming out of the oven).

  7. If you want to change the whipping cream to milk, I suggest you to increase the amount of the butter to 35g. Because milk has less fat than cream ^ ^.
