• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp of soda
• Fine salt
• 115 g of butter at room temperature
• 1 cup of sugar

• 1/4 cup coffee at room temperature

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.

3. In a measuring cup, combine the milk, coffee, and vanilla extract. Pour half of the dry mixture into the butter mixture and whisk. Then, continuing to whisk, add the milk and coffee and the remaining dry mixture. The batter should be thick and fluffy.
4. Using an ice cream scoop, fill each cupcake pan 3/4 full with batter.
   
   Bake for 20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cupcake. It should come out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool before frosting.
5. Prepare the glazeBring the heavy cream to a gentle simmer. Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a bowl and pour in the hot cream. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until the chocolate and butter melt and the mixture is smooth. Let sit for 5–8 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken.
