Sift the flour directly in the preparation and fold it. Then add the instant coffee.

Your paste is ready to fill in your cupcakes and let it bake for 20 mins approximately.Make use of a toothpick to know whether the cakes are ready

I have reduced sugar thought that it might be too sweet therefore instead of 150gr i have used only 100gr of sugar 

Try it,its really nice and smooth with a special taste of chocolate mix with coffee :D
