Filling: 1 c Chopped Pecans 3/4 c Packed Brown Sugar 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon Batter: 2 c Cake Flour 2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Salt 3/4 c Milk 2 tsp Vanilla 1-1/2 tsp Instant Coffee Granules 1 c White Sugar 1/2 c Unsalted Butter, softened 4 Large Eggs 1/2 c Unsweet Applesauce |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. Place pecans on prepared baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until fragrant, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl with brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix until coated; set aside. Meanwhile, sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Mix vanilla, milk, and coffee granules together in another bowl. Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat with electric mixer until sugar dissolved and mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Beat in applesauce until smooth and creamy. Add flour mix in 2 batches, alternating with milk mix, beating only until incorporated. Spread 1 tbsp batter into each prepared cupcake liner, making sure it covers bottom. Add 1/2 tbsp pecan filling on top of each. Cover with remaining batter and top with remaining filling. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-25 minutes. Cool in tins for 10 minutes before putting on cooling racks to cool completely. |
