ASo I am making cupcakes for a dinner party and this is the recipe: 1/2 cup milk, at room temperature 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup cocoa powder 1/3 cup espresso powder 1/3 cup instant espresso Question, what is the difference in the instant espresso and the espresso powder. For the brewed coffee I'm using Starbucks instant coffee. Can I use Medaglia d'oro instant espresso for the espresso parts? I'm so confused. Any help on this is welcomed.

AThat is a lot of espresso! Are you sure that is correct? I add instant espresso to my chocolate cake & cupcakes but I normally just use a few tablespoons. I can't imagine adding 2/3 cup.

AYes these are the exact directions. That's my confusion, should use just 1/3 cup instant espresso. Heck is there another recipe I can use?

AThis is my favorite recipe. It is very easy. I start them off at 375 and lower to 350 after 5 minutes. They tend to sink if I don't do that.
