2 Creating Christmas Tree Cupcakes
Step 1: Prepare the Flour Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine 180g of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 60g of cocoa powder, and 270g of sugar. Ensure everything is mixed well and there are no lumps.
Get your ingredients ready
In a separate bowl, create your wet mixture by combining 120ml of melted butter, 60ml of sour cream, 60ml of coffee, and 2 eggs. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
Step 2: Bake the Cupcakes
Carefully fill your cupcake liners with the batter, making sure to fill them evenly. Pop them in the oven and bake at 177 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. Once done, let them cool while you prepare the frosting.

Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a bowl, combine 455g of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well, then add 30ml of fresh milk and 5ml of vanilla extract. Start whipping your cream until it forms soft peaks. To add a pop of color, incorporate 5ml of green food coloring into a portion of the cream and mix well.
Whip it good!
Step 4: Decorate the Cupcakes
It’s time to bring your Christmas trees to life! Spread a layer of white cream on each cupcake. Then, using a piping bag, add the green cream to create a tree-like shape on each cupcake liner. Get creative and add some extra decorations if you like.
