Cop Cakes

• For the doughnut cupcakes
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• For the doughnut topping
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/8 cup granulated sugar
• 1/8 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• For the kahlua mocha buttercream
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
• 1 teaspoon Kahlua

1. To make cupcakes:
2. Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Line a standard muffin pan with paper cups.
3. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix with light strokes until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix; batter will not be smooth.
4. Divide batter among the muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted in one or two of the muffins come out clean, 12-15 minutes.
5. While the muffins are baking, melt butter and place in a bowl just large enough to hold a muffin. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small, shallow bowl. As soon as the muffins are done, dip them one at a time in the melted butter and then roll in the sugar mixture. Set on a rack to cool.
6. To make buttercream:
7. Beat butter, powdered sugar and cocoa at medium speed until fluffy.
8. Microwave whipping cream until warm (do not boil), about 15-20 secs. Stir together warm cream and coffee granules until dissolved; cool. Slowly add coffee-cream mixture in 1 tsp increments and liqueur to butter mixture, beating until smooth. You may not use all of the coffee/cream mixture, just use what you need until you get the consistency you like.
