Since the birth of Passion meets Creativity, I have only lived 6 months in Luxembourg. And from these six months I travelled 2. So let’s say for 4 months I have been back for good. My family but especially also my friends are following very closely what happens on the blog and on the Passion meets Creativity’s Facebook Page.
However it occurred, that not many of them had the chance to taste the things I prepare. Well this is mostly due to the fact that I prepare things on Sundays and until the next gathering my family or those which I meet on the first week-days as well as my colleagues from work ate all of it.
This is why I decided I would organize a little Passion meets Creativity Feast. This is basically a win win situation. I mean, I can prepare 3 kinds of cakes, cupcakes, tarts etc… and it will be eaten for sure afterwards and my friends can taste as much as they want. The first feast was a great success I’d say, so this calls for another round.
Why you’ll love this recipe?
Subtle coffee notes: The gentle coffee flavour adds depth without overwhelming, creating a balanced and sophisticated taste that pairs beautifully with the walnuts.
A nutty crunch: Chopped walnuts add texture and a nutty element, enhancing the depth of flavour in every cupcake.
Fluffy yet moist: The tender crumb of these cupcakes ensures a luxurious texture that pairs perfectly with its smooth frosting and a cup of coffee.
Ideal for coffee lovers: These cupcakes bring the classic coffee-and-walnut pairing to dessert form, making them a perfect treat for afternoon breaks or special occasions.
