I myself made Cinnamon Chocolate cupcakes that called for brewed coffee in them and they were AMAZING! Rave reviews all around … please visit:

There are a couple reason why your cupcakes would shrink. (1) Did you bake them long enough? If they aren’t baked enough they won’t have a firm structure and will fall. Also don’t open the oven prematurely to “check on them”. If you can’t resist the urge, give them maybe at least 15 minutes. (2) How long do you let them cool before applying ganache? When cupcakes cool they form a “crust” on the outside so that they pull away from the liner since the cake isn’t sticky anymore. When I am applying ganache I let the cupcake cool long enough so that I can hold it to apply the ganache but not so long that they pull away. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the recipe! I’ve tried it and I love it! Although I wonder why my cupcakes (as well as other chocolate cupcake I’ve tried to make before) doesn’t stick to the liners, so when it’s time to put the ganache, the ganache flow to the sides of the liners. I’m no baking expert, but you might know what I’ve done wrong?
Thanks!

I wish I would have gotten a couple more side-by-side shots of the regular vs espresso size cupcake. It was uber cute! :)
