Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Whisk until blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Remove cupcakes from the oven, cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Whip together the mascarpone cheese and espresso until fluffy and creamy.
  8. Slice off the tops of each cooled cupcake, scoop out a portion from the center, and fill with the mascarpone mixture.
  9. Dust the filled cupcakes generously with cocoa powder before serving.
