Coffee and cupcakes are an unmatched combination. The rich, aromatic flavours merge with the irresistible texture of cupcakes – not too sweet, just decadent enough for any dessert lover. Perfect for winter when you’re craving “iets soet”.

If you're looking to tantalise your taste buds and indulge in a delightful treat, look no further than these Amasi-DAVIDOFF Coffee Cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream.

At the heart of these mouth-watering cupcakes lies the perfect blend of two exceptional ingredients: Amasi and DAVIDOFF CAFÉ. Amasi, a traditional South African fermented milk, adds a unique tanginess and creaminess to the cupcakes, making them incredibly moist and luscious. DAVIDOFF CAFÉ, renowned for its premium quality and distinct flavours, infuses the cupcakes with a robust coffee essence that elevates the overall experience.
