Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into your cupcake tins and bake for 18-20 minutes.
While the cupcakes are cooling, it’s time to make the frosting. This part is easy – just mix together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, espresso, and vanilla extract. Whip it all together until it’s light and fluffy, then transfer it to a piping bag or simply use a spatula to spread it on top of the cupcakes.
