Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place paper liners in a muffin pan set aside.
  • Add almond flour, psyllium husk, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum to a medium bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined, set aside.
  • Add butter, heavy cream, cocoa powder, instant espresso coffee powder, and salt to a large heatproof bowl. Melt over a water bath whisking constantly (or use the microwave 10 seconds at a time). Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  • Add in the sweetener and then one egg at a time, whisking well after each one until completely incorporated.
  • Add the flour mixture, whisking continuously until fully blended (about a minute).
  • Divide the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
  • Bake for 14-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool for at least 15 minutes in the muffin pan. They'll be particularly fragile right out of the oven, so you need to let them set.
  • Combine the cream and the coffee in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until the coffee is dissolved. Let the mixture cool down to room temperature.
  • Beat the butter and the sweetener until almost white and fluffy.
  • Add the coffee and cream mixture in thirds, beating quickly after each addition until all the cream has incorporated into the butter.
  • Add the whiskey and beat until well mixed. Don’t overbeat.
  • Transfer frosting to a piping bag with a tip and decorate each cupcake.
  • Grate dark chocolate on top if wanted.
  • The cupcakes keep well, stored in an airtight container in the fridge, for 3 to 4 days.
