Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 180, for 10 minutes

  • Blend on a low speed till the sugar is well incorporated
  • Add in the cocoa powder and instant coffee and Pulse a couple of times
  • Add in the rest of the dry ingredients and give short pulses. the mixture will not be well incorporated because the wet ingredients are not enough. so push down a bit and pulse at very short intervals.
  • Now measure out 2/3 cup of water and pour it in. Pulse till smooth. Do not run for a very long time
  • Use the ice cream scoop to add the batter into the cupcake moulds.
  • The batter appears a bit runny..but that is the right consistency
  • Top it with almond flakes or nuts of choice
  • Place in the preheated oven for 12 minutes ( plus or minus 2 minutes depending on the oven)
  • Watch the cupcakes as they rise... do not open the oven door.
  • Check if done by using a toothpick which comes out clean.
  • Cook on a wire rack for around 10 minutes and watch them vanish.
