Method

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat sugar, coffee, oil, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla until well blended.

In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into coffee mixture until blended.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool.

For frosting, in a microwave, melt chips and butter; stir until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and enough coffee to achieve desired consistency.

Pipe frosting onto cupcakes. Top with sprinkles; gently press down.
