I added coffee to the water & topped with coloured buttercream. I bake a lot and have tried a lot of recipes that use either coffee, coke or milk as the liquid. I also routinely add a couple of spoons of plain yoghurt to add to the moistness of any cake/cupcake/muffin. The important thing for me is the inclusion of oil - I have no idea why most cake/cupcake/muffins contain butter which is a solid fat = less soft/moist/springy cupcake & with the high cost of butter these days, it's much more cost-effective to use cheap oil - in this case a tiny amount which is even better., approved=true, user_name=kh, hs_createdate=1702249869260, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175415832}]}

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160ºC fan-forced. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, then add the sugars and stir in. Add the egg, Meadow Fresh Milk, Olivani Pure Olive Oil and vanilla then beat with a mixer until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl then add the boiling water and mix until just combined (the batter will be runny).
Pour the batter into a measuring cup or jug (it’s easier and cleaner than using a spoon) and pour evenly into each paper case until ¾ filled (don’t over fill or the mixture will overflow).
Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Berry Icing
Mix icing sugar with hot water. Add Tararua Butter and beat until light and fluffy. Pipe or spread onto muffins.
