Cream Cheese Coffee Cup Cakes

I ❤ coffee although I'm not addicted to it. I like to try out many different kind of coffee and currently I love this “Hei Hwang” - 黑王 2 in 1 instant white coffee. I just love the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee. Once a while, I would enjoy a cuppa hot coffee with my favourite cakes and that makes up my day☻ Today, I baked this cream cheese coffee cup cakes for my teatime and I just love the coffee smells of this freshly baked cup cakes all over my house. My kids do enjoy the cup cakes a lot☻

Ingredients:

180 g butter

200 g sugar (I use 180 g)

a pinch of salt

2 eggs

2 tsp coffee paste

1/4 cup hot water mix with 1 tsp instant coffee

1/2 cup milk

Sift together;
250 g cake flour

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

Cream cheese fillings;
50 g cream cheese
1 tbsp icing sugar
10 g whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla essense
(mixed all the ingredient above until it's creamy)

Yay!!...see the freshly out from oven cup cakes here, it's yummy & smell sweet.

Ways to bake it:

Cream butter, sugar and salt till it's pale and creamy.
Add in eggs one at a time and mixed till it well combined.
Add in coffee paste, coffee mixture and milk (Don't worry if the mixture are a bit watery)☻

Fold in flour.

Scoop some batter into paper cups then spoon some cream cheese mixture in the center and top up with some batter. The batter should cover up the cream cheese filling.

Bake at 175c for 25 mins or till it's cooked by insert toothpick and it comes out clean.

Remove from oven and move the cake to the wire rack to cool.

Note : If you prefer the richer coffee flavour cake, increased the amount of instant coffee to 2 or 3 tsp when making the coffee mixture. The texture of this cake are soft and fluffy, topped with the cream cheese and the great coffee aroma. Who can resist this??? Makes 20 medium size cup cakes☻
