Mocha Latte



During my visit to Starbucks last week, I indulged in their seasonal Pumpkin Latte (tall, skinny, no whip).  As I was drinking it, I thought, that's a great name for my pumpkin cupcake!  Today, while home for the second day with a sick child, I decided to make Pumpkin Latte cupcakes.  Sadly, I was out of pumpkin.  So I made the next best thing, Mocha Latte Cupcakes!!  I used my dark chocolate recipe, but added one cup of really strong coffee.  I only had half of the sour cream that it called for, so I supplemented with heavy cream.  The result is an even moister (is that a word) cupcake.  I made my usual whipped cream cheese frosting and dusted them with cocoa powder and sprinkled shaved chocolate on top.  You're going to want a "Vente."
