  • ¾ cup (135g) dark brown sugar 
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee 
  • 2 teaspoons Dutch cocoa

  2. Place the caster sugar, flour and 2 tablespoons of the cocoa in a large bowl. Add the butter, milk, vanilla and egg and whisk to combine. Spoon into the prepared cups and sprinkle over the dark brown sugar and remaining cocoa.
