- 3/4 cups each of granulated and packed sugar
- 3/4 cups sifted cocoa
- 2 tsp. each of baking powder and baking soda
- 1 tsp each of cinnamon and salt

TOPPING
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Preparation:
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together flour, the granulated sugar, the packed sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives cut the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
In a separate container, mix together coffee and eggs. Add this into the first mixture. Stir until the combined mixture is moist (batter will be lumpy).
Divide this into 20 equal muffin cups (paper lined cups are best)
For topping, mix sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle this over the muffins before baking.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. To test, insert a toothpick, if it comes out clean it’s done.
Let them cool for 10 minutes in a pan or wire rack
