I made these cupcakes for a baby shower and they were a huge hit!! Not only did I receive compliments on the design of the cupcake the guests were floored by the intense infusion of flavors. I was even told I should do cupcake wars after making these. I chuckled and said I was just a good copycat!! I truly enjoyed making these and did not experience any issues at all with the recipe!!

I had many compliments after baking these cupcakes! I took Chy190's advice and added the extra cup of flour, baking powder, and cocoa and the cupcakes were good! I tried to "inject" the cupcakes with the chocolate mascarpone filling but it didn't work out well so I ended up removing part of the centers and then filling them. Also, when trying to mix the Zinfandel to the buttercream, it curdeled! Overall, it tasted great!

Recipe was delicious!.... but after I added an extra cup of flour, 1/8 teaspoon baking powder, and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder! The batter was thin beyond belief! I can't believe I had to fix it!
But after I fixed it, it was good.

I loved the design of these cakes, but the liquid amounts in the recipe made it so thin that they wouldn't rise. So I added an additional cup of flour to the batter and they baked up nicely and very light, took about 20 minutes to bake. I used only a 1/4 cup for the coffee instead of 3/4 and I used cake flour so I don't know if that would have anything to do with how thin the batter turned out, otherwise it was a good recipe.
