Directions

Ingredients :

¾ cup shortening

1 ⅔ cups white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

1 pinch cayenne pepper

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups water

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12 cup muffin pans or line with 18 paper baking cups.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, beat the shortening and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla, instant coffee and cayenne pepper. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter, alternating with the water, just until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter and frost as desired.
