Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F/(175C).

Step 2

In a large bowl combine the cocoa powder with the hot water and whisk up with a wire whisk until smooth. The hot water will “bloom” the coco powder and bring out its best flavor.

Step 3

Then add the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Set Aside.

Step 4

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.

Step 5

Combine the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, slowly whisking until combined.

Step 6

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with brown muffin papers, and fill each well ½ way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow to cool completely. Meanwhile you can prepare the frosting.

Step 8

In a bowl of an electric mixer combine the whipping cream, powdered sugar, espresso powder and vanilla. Whip until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip.

Step 9

Pipe a generous mound of frosting. Then garnish with chocolate shavings made with a bittersweet chocolate bar and rasp grater. And top with an espresso bean.

Step 10

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
