Coffee Cupcakes with Baily's Irish Cream Frosting

I found this recipe for coffee cupcakes online, and altered it a bit to my liking. On St. Patrick's Day a great dessert to bring to the party is Irish Cupcakes. This coffee cupcake is complimented well with Bailey's Irish Cream Frosting. The buttercream frosting keeps well when left out on the dessert table. The semi-sweet chocolate chips add to the flavor. You can get creative, and switch this recipe up a bit. Instead of semi-sweet chip, you could add white chocolate chips to your coffee cupcakes. Or, stick an Andie's mint in the middle of each cup before baking, and you can have chocolate mint coffee cupcakes.
