Instructions
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
- Heat the butter, Guinness, cocoa powder and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until melted. Remove from heat and let cool to almost room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl), add salt, flour, granulated sugar, and baking soda. Stir together to mix.
- Add in cooled beer mixture and beat (slowly at first - then on medium speed) for about 1 minute.
- Add in eggs and sour cream, beat on medium speed for another 1-2 minutes. Batter will be slightly runny.
- Pour batter to fill each muffin cup about 2/3 of the way.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes (mine took 20 minutes).
- Let cool in pan for 5 minutes and then remove to cool completely on a cooling rack.
MAKE THE BUTTERCREAM
- Make sure cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting.
- In a stand mixer (or with hand mixer), cream butter until it is light and fluffy.
- Add salt and 1/2 of powdered sugar. Beat on low speed until sugar is slightly incorporated, then add remaining 1/2 of the powdered sugar. Frosting will look dry at this point.
- Add Bailey's and heavy cream and beat another 2-3 minutes.
- Add frosting to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or whichever you prefer) and frost cupcakes as desired.
MAKE THE IRISH CREAM CHOCOLATE SAUCE
- Add Bailey's, cocoa powder and corn syrup to a small sauce pan and heat to a boil, whisking to incorporate. Once it boils, reduce heat and simmer for approximately 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add chocolate chips and stir until they are melted.
- Drizzle over cupcakes as desired.
Notes
- ** Decorate as desired.
