Tiramisu Inspired Cupcakes

These two flavor cupcakes combine a moist rich chocolate cake with a moist light coffee cake. I tryed out a cupcake batter mold that makes a outer part of the cupcake in one flavor and the inner in the second flavor. The batter I used was thick so it was a time consuming process to pipe and push the batter thrpugh. I Swirled the batter for the last batch. The cupcakes using the mold were stunning with the surprise coffee middle. The swirled ones pretty. Both were delicious, with the seperate flavors working so well together. The frosting is a vanilla marscapone v cream which makes these cupcakes reminiscent of tirimisu!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
