½tsp Vanilla extract
10ml Instant coffee

Decoration:
12 Whole walnuts

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a cupcake tray with cases. In a bowl mix together the butter and sugar using an electric whisk. Whisk until light and fluffy. From there, make the coffee and add in the mixture following the eggs and flour and whisk until combined. When combined finely chop the walnuts and mix in.

2. Spoon the mixture evenly into each case and place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. When your cupcakes are done set aside to cool.

3. While your cupcakes are cooling its time to make the buttercream. Cream the butter into a large bowl whilst gradually adding the icing sugar. Cream until light and fluffy. Add the milk and coffee, stir well. Place the buttercream into a large piping bag fitted with a nozzle of your choice! Pipe a swirl on each cupcake and top them with a walnut.
