Coffee Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

I have to confess – I'm pro-caffeinated. What more could a girl want but coffee cupcakes to add a little more coffee to her day? ;)
I reckon this was the first recipe I managed to make with buttercream. Yeah! I know some people think it's a tricky one but in fact, it's quite easy. Say focused and everything will be fine!
1 tsp coffee extract (you’ll need 2 for this recipe so if you don’t have any, prepare it with 1 tsp instant coffee and 1 tsp hot water)
9 Tbsp butter, softened
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder and 1 pinch baking soda
for the frosting:
1 tsp coffee extract
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Mix the ingredients for the cupcakes and fill the cupcake molds ¾ of the way full. Bake for 20 mn, 350°F.
Whisk the buttercream and use a star tip piping bag or ziploc bag if you don’t have any (cut the tip). Frost the cooled cupcakes.
You can freeze these cupcakes and unfreeze them at room temperature for 45 mn.
