I have been dodging umpteen requests for homemade cupcakes with exciting new flavors for a very long time. So, when we got stuck indoors on a hail-stormy evening, I decided to bake some mocha cupcakes and make them happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went all out and gave them a chocolate frosting. Seriously, the one thing that can make coffee even better is chocolate. That\u2019s why I call mocha, a marriage made in heaven between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give the deep earthy taste of the mocha chocolate cupcakes some balance, I whipped up chocolate cream cheese frosting, infusing it with Baileys! The mocha flavor of the Irish coffee cupcake and the silky, smooth, luscious frosting blend together beautifully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And hello, don\u2019t forget the Baileys! I mean, can it get better than this? I don't think so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
