Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup milk
  • Choco chips (optional for topping)

Kitchen Tools Needed

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Cupcake molds or small cups
  • Deep pan with lid
  • Small stand/ring for pan
  • Measuring cups
  • Toothpick for testing

Preparation Method

Step 1: Make the Coffee Mixture

In a bowl, add sugar, instant coffee, and 2 tablespoons milk. Beat well for 4–5 minutes until the mixture becomes light, creamy, and fluffy. This step helps create air in the batter for soft cupcakes.

Step 2: Add Oil

Pour in the oil and mix gently until combined.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, sift together:

  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda

Sifting removes lumps and makes the cupcakes lighter.

Step 4: Combine Batter

Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the coffee mixture. Add the ½ cup milk little by little and mix until smooth. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Fill the Molds

Grease cupcake molds lightly and pour the batter halfway or ¾ full. Top with choco chips if desired.

Stovetop Method:

  1. Take a deep pan and place a metal stand or ring inside.
  2. Cover the pan and preheat on medium flame for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the cupcake molds carefully inside.
  4. Cover the pan tightly.
  5. Cook on medium-low flame for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready.

Oven Method (Optional)

If using an oven:

  • Preheat oven to 160°C
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes
  • Cool before serving
