  • Preheat the oven to 170 °C.
  • Cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time.
  • Mix the flour with the baking powder, sift it, and gradually add it to the egg mixture.
  • When everything is well integrated, add the vanilla and Baileys. Beat for a few more minutes until a smooth batter is obtained.
  • Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full and place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven and let cool on the tray.
  • For the buttercream, beat the butter with half of the sugar; while continuing to beat, add the coffee, and gradually add the remaining powdered sugar until a spreadable paste is obtained.
  • When the cupcakes are cool, and if you want a more intense flavor, drizzle a little bit of Baileys on the cupcakes.
  • Put the buttercream in a piping bag, and with a star tip, decorate it, and to finish, decorate with chocolate.
