Guinness Cupcake W/ Bailey' Irish Cream Frosting





Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes

Makes: About 30

CUPCAKES
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup Guinness extra stout
2/3 cup dark cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 24 to 30 muffin cups or line them with paper liners. In a heavy saucepan heat the butter, Guinness and dark cocoa powder until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool. In a large bowl, sift together the salt, flour, sugar and baking soda. Add the Guinness-cocoa mixture and beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Add the eggs and sour cream and beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Bailey's Irish Cream Frosting:
About 3 to 4 cups confections sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup or 4 ounces) unsalted butter,room temp
pinch of salt
About 3 to 4 Tablespoons of Bailey', or to taste( I also added a little milk so mine wouldn't be too strong)

Cream butter until light & fluffy. Slowly add the sugar and pinch of salt little at a time. Once combined add Bailey' and beat on high until fluffy and smooth.

If there are cuter cupcakes I've never seen 'em.

Although I don't care for Bailey's, I'd just make the frosting with milk.

I took a really quick look at the cupcakes and thought that the green stuff was parsley... Lol.
But they're just sprinkles. Haha.

Dang. I really want a cupcake right now.

I enjoyed it. The cake is really moist. I think going light on the frosting is best unless you like a lot. It was a bit rich for me.

I sooo want to try this! How did you get the frosting to look so perfect?

[info]shortybear84

2009-03-11 07:46 pm UTC

You should! I paddle the frosting on high for about 4-5 minutes to get it really smooth and fluffy, and I use a fairly large plain tip for piping.
