Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the lined muffin tin, filling each cupcake liner about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Whip together mascarpone cheese and espresso until fluffy.
  9. Once cool, scoop out a small portion from the center of each cupcake and fill with the espresso mascarpone filling.
  10. Dust the filled cupcakes with cocoa powder before serving.
