Ingredients

• 1 box devil’s food cake mix, 15.25 ounce
• 3 eggs
• ⅓ cup canola oil
• 1 cup strong brewed Starbucks Christmas Blend coffee
• 1 cup sweet cream butter, softened
• 5 cups confectioner’s sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup extra strong brewed Starbucks Christmas Blend coffee, cooled
• 1 teaspoon coffee extract
• 24 Lindt LINDOR Milk Chocolate Chocolate Truffles (or other favorite flavor)
• Chocolate sprinkles

Directions

• In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix the cake mix, eggs, canola oil, and Starbucks coffee then beat on medium speed for two minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 24 muffin tin cups with muffin paper and equally fill each cup with the batter.
• Bake for 18-21 minutes until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Remove to a rack to cool.
• While cupcakes are cooling, make frosting by placing butter in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat until the butter is creamy and pale in color, 1-2 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, sift confectioner’s sugar and cocoa together.
• With mixer running on slow, alternate adding powdered sugar mixture, brewed Starbucks coffee and coffee extract.
• Scrape the bowl then beat until creamy, about another minute. Scrape the bowl and paddle again and mix to combine.
• Fill a large pastry bag with a large star tip with the icing and divide between the 24 cupcakes by piping a decorative circle of frosting starting from outside and finishing in the center.
• Place a Lindt LINDOR truffle into the center of each and then sprinkle the chocolate sprinkles over the top and serve.
