Instructions
1
Prepare the batter
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cream the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the ricotta cheese and egg and mix until combined. Mix the flour, baking powder, almond flour, instant coffee powder, and a pinch of salt, then fold into the butter mixture. Finally, add the cold coffee and stir until the batter is smooth.
2
Baking
Pour the batter into a 6-cup muffin tin lined with paper liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 17-18 minutes until the tops are golden. Test with a toothpick—it should come out clean when done. Cool on a wire rack.
3
Make the cream and assemble
Mix the mascarpone cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Pipe the cream onto the cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
