Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and milk. Microwave in short intervals of 20 seconds, stirring in between until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Whisk in the instant coffee, followed by the vanilla extract, egg, and coconut sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the chocolate mixture.
- Fill each cupcake liner just over halfway with the batter and bake for 15-19 minutes.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for at least 2 hours.
- Make your strawberry jam by cooking strawberries with a splash of water, breaking them down with a fork. Stir in cornstarch and simmer until thick.
- Beat together softened butter for the buttercream, then gradually add icing sugar, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla, salt, and milk to reach a fluffy consistency.
- Create a cavity in the center of each cooled cupcake and fill generously with the chilled strawberry jam.
- Pipe the buttercream frosting over each cupcake, covering the jam-filled hole and creating bite marks using a straw.

Notes
Making the jam and frosting in advance saves time. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
