Coffee Cupcakes with Butterscotch Buttercream Frosting




















I cheated with this one and used a boxed cake & added to it because I was feeling lazy.

Cupcakes:
Betty Crocker White Cake Mix
3 Eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cups oil
1/3 cup cocoa
3 tbsp coffee
1 tbsp nutella

Frosting:
1 C butter (room temperature)
2 1/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 C butterscotch
1/4 C milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Dash Almond extract

Cupcakes
First thing I did was mix the coffee & water together until it was blended.  Add cake mix, water mix, oil & eggs to bowl & mix with beater.  Add in cocoa & nutella and mix on high until well blended.  Once mixed together, put into lined muffin tin.  Bake for 16-21 minutes st 325.  These took about 20 minutes to cook.

Frosting
Mix butter on high for a few minutes until it looks soft & whipped.  Add in butterscotch and let that soften, while beating on high. Add icing sugar, milk, vanilla, almond extract and butterscotch into bowl and mix on high.  Once it is blended and soft (it should be fluffy), load into a pastry bag. 

Once cupcakes are cooled, you can add it to the top & voila!
