# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Sprinkle a bit of unsweetened cocoa on top of the filled cupcakes before serving.
02 - Fill each cupcake liner with batter about two-thirds full. Pop them in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes.
03 - Whisk eggs, milk, and oil together in a bowl until everything’s smooth.
04 - Let the cupcakes cool down fully before adding the filling.
05 - Heat your oven to 175°C and line a muffin tray with cupcake papers.
06 - Stir mascarpone and espresso until creamy. Then spoon this into the cooled cupcakes.
07 - In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and sugar until mixed well.
08 - Carefully fold the wet mix into the dry stuff. Don’t overdo it—just mix it till it’s combined.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - If you want a stronger coffee taste, add a teaspoon of coffee extract to the mascarpone mix.
02 - Try mixing cocoa with some powdered sugar to dust the cupcakes for a little sweetness on top.
