   • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Mix in the milk, coffee, and vanilla extract until combined.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
   • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
   • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

   • Once the cupcakes are cool, brush the tops with the coffee soak, allowing it to soak in.
4. Make the Mascarpone Frosting:

   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
5. Frost the Cupcakes:

I think these cupcakes are a great twist on classic tiramisu. Have you tried using espresso instead of regular coffee for a stronger flavor though? ​
