Coffee & Walnut Cupcakes


Hello, I hope you all doing well.
Today I wanted to share this cupcake recipe that I found and its amazing! Need to try!
I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures from the process of making, I was just trying those out and they turned out amazing, I could not share them with you.
The cupcakes have quite strong taste of coffee, if you are not a huge fan of strong coffee you may want to add less or add more if you like it stronger.
