Tried this semi-home made cupcake recipe, and turned out pretty well. And easy to make because it starts with a yellow cake mix box! I didn't make the coffee frosting and did not fill the cupcake. I just baked the cupcake and frosted with the Irish Cream frosting.
Made 15 cupcakes

CUPCAKES.

11. Cut "x" markes into the top
of the cooled cupcakes with a knife (about 1 inch deep).

16. I like to take the VIA and add it
directly to tbsp of water, and make super strong coffee directly in tbsp then
add it to mixture. I usually mix well after each addition of coffee and taste
test to make sure the coffee flavor isn't too strong or too weak.
17. Once mixed frost cupcakes.

top with chocolate covered espresso bean.
