Istruzioni

Guinness Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two muffin tins with cupcake liners and set aside.

Heat chocolate beer mixture in saucepan

In a pot or large saucepan, simmer the beer and butter on medium until butter is completely melted. Add cocoa powder and chocolate chips and stir until your mixture is smooth. Take off heat and set aside to cool.

Whisk dry ingredients

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together, sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Make cupcake batter

In mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sour cream together until smooth. Slowly add the cooled chocolate mixture. Next, add flour mixture and stir just until combined.

Baje cupcakes

Scoop batter into prepared cupcake tin until cups are about 2/3 full. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on racks.

Irish Whiskey Ganache

Make ganache

In a large saucepan, melt chocolate chips, cream, and butter on medium-low. Stir until smooth. Add your whiskey, stir, then remove from heat and set aside to let mixture cool/thicken.

Scoop out cupcakes

While your ganache is cooling, scoop a hole into the center of each cooled cupcake with a cupcake corer or a large round frosting tip. Fill holes to the brim with thickened ganache.

Bailey's Frosting

Make frosting

In a bowl with an electric mixer, cream together butter, 4 tablespoons Bailey's, and confectioners' sugar. If consistency is too thick, add more Irish cream one tablespoon at a time until piping consistency is reached.

Frost cupcakes

Spoon frosting into a pastry bag fitted with desired tip. I used a large star tip (Ateco 823 or Wilton 1M). Pipe it generously on top of each filled cupcake and enjoy!
