- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 160g flour
- 30g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. baking powder

- Pour the coffee or water and beat until integrated.
- Fill the molds 3/4 full and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Let cool completely before making a hole with an apple corer in the center to fill them with lotus cream or your favorite cream.
- For the meringue, mix the egg whites with the sugar in a bowl and place it in a bain-marie until the sugar dissolves. We will know when we touch the mixture and the pimples are not noticed.

- Transfer the meringue to a sleeve and decorate our cupcakes.
