I Want To Bake Chocolate And Coffee Cupcakes. Can I Just Take A Choc Box Mix And Sub Instant Coffee For Water?

6 June 2009 in Coffee maker

I don’t want a really strong coffee flavor. On the box mix for the chocolate cake it calls for 1 and 1/3 cup water. Couldn’t I just dissolve a bit of instant coffee/espresso powder into the water to give the cupcakes a hint of the coffee flavor and kick? Or would that mess with the chemicals and the way the wet and dry ingredients react together?

  1. YES, instant espresso or instant coffee added to the water.
    I also make them stronger by adding the finest ground Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee! It’s a great coffee for baking :)

  2. I’m not sure I understand your question. You say you ‘dont want a really strong coffee flavor’, but then you seem to suggest that you want to substitute instant coffee for water – wont that make the coffee flavor stronger?
