- Preheat Oven:

- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Prepare the Cupcakes:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the coffee liqueur if using.
- Let the syrup cool.

- Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Cupcakes:
- Using a skewer or toothpick, poke holes in the top of each cupcake.
- Spoon the coffee syrup over the cupcakes, allowing it to soak in.
