Beer Cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cups sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking soda
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Buttercream
- 2 cups unsalted butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5-6 tbsp Guiness beer
- 5-6 cups confectioner’s sugar
- chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Make the cupcakes: Pour the beer into a pot set to medium heat. Add the butter and stir until completely melted. Remove the pot from the heat, and whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar, and set aside.
- Mix together the sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a bowl until fully combined. Add the egg mixture to the beer and combine well. Add the flour and baking soda and whisk together. Add the mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the batter into a muffin tin lined with muffin liners, and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Make the buttercream: Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beer and mix until combined. Add the confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, then beat for 2-3 minutes. Place the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a large, star-shaped tip.
- Pipe a swirl of buttercream onto each cupcake, decorate with chocolate sprinkles and enjoy!
