Weekend Baking | Coffee & Walnut Cupcakes With Maple Syrup Icing

I devised this recipe as I can't really drink coffee but I absolutely love the taste and smell of it and so by putting it in a cake I can still get the flavour but as it's such a small amount spread out, it doesn't affect me. For the coffee I use the Little's Maple Walnut Coffee which smells incredible! To enhance the walnut flavour I've added some on top too. Read on to check out the recipe...
