Butter, eggs, sugar, leaveners, and flour are most likely the main ingredients in dessert baking, but for these peppermint mocha cupcakes, you will also need brown sugar, peppermint extract, instant coffee and International Delight Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer.
Flavor comes from the addition of peppermint extract, International Delight Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer and of course instant coffee!
For my cupcakes, I added only 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and the coffee flavor was barely there.
For the frosting, you need butter, powder sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant coffee, peppermint extract and International Delight Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer.
