Instructions

Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350F and line a cupcake pan with liners.
In the bowl of an electric mixer combine cake mix, eggs, greek yogurt, milk, and oil until fully combined- but do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips then pour batter into cupcake liners, filling 2/3rds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely.

Frosting

Once cupcakes are completely cool start frosting. In a cup add instant coffee and hot water, let sit in the fridge for 5 minutes to cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer beat butter for 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar, coffee, and heavy cream. Beat on low until powdered sugar is combined then beat on high for 4minutes.
Pipe on to completely cooled cupcakes and drizzle salted caramel on top.
